Refinancing in Foreclosure: Why Banks won’t do it
Across the US, people are facing the increasing burden of foreclosure. The possibility that you might lose your home to foreclosure is real, and most people are living in fear. While this is probably the worst that can happen, homeowners must stay calm and keep their cool. The more tense a homeowner is the more mistakes he or she will make. Most of the homeowners being forced into the nightmare called foreclosure are yet to realize that they can easily qualify for refinance, which will help them to avoid the foreclosure and they can walk away unscathed. This will actually help them to save their homes. If you have a lot of home equity then it will be easier for you to refinance and get the loan back on track. This will not damage your credit report to say the least.
Refinancing foreclosure is unlike normal refinancing. When you are applying for a conventional refinance, the lender will look at only one fact: credit history. If you are not late by more than 90 days as far as your mortgage payments are concerned and at the same time if your FICO score is or above 650 then most of the regular lenders will first look at the refinance application and try to consider it. There is a possibility that the lender might not approve it but at least your papers will get a look at. But if you have gone beyond the stipulated 90-day period on the loan payments, then the application will be rejected by a conventional lender, if you cross the 120 day mark of being late on your mortgage payments and if your credit score has fallen below 650 then there is no way that the conventional lending industry will take such a risk.
This is a special situation and banks hate this kind of a situation. So, you will need the expertise of a lender who can handle this kind of a situation and will be able to refinance your foreclosure. There are very few people out there who do it but most will not because of the high risk that is there. Since, the foreclosure would have damaged your credit report, it is more than enough for lenders to say no to refinance your foreclosure.
