I m not sayin this is the right thing to do but....

Jim Cramer from 'Mad Money" says it isn't going to get better. He says HALF of the homes sold in the last two years will go back to the bank. He says folks in Cal are just walkin away in droves. He states Bernanki has to do something to fix it. The dow dropped yesterday because of it and so did the foriegn markets this morning. Could be a long day on Wall St today.

Good luck my friend......

Blame who ever you want to make yourself feel better, but it was you who sat down and signed the papers. Plus Realtors do not put people in the arm mortgages, mortgage brokers did. This doesn't mean they are bad people either. People came to them with the dream of home ownership, and the provided a service. You were explained that the rate would adjust, and even if the mortgage broker didn't, the closing attorney did. I do feel bad for your position, but blaming others will not help. I would suggest a second job, and riding out the storm.

Anyone who states someone else got them in trouble but have signed all the paperwork are in a deep state of denial. The first thing you need to do is stop with the "they" did this to me and take charge.

Call your mortgage company and see if they will make repayment arrangements with you. If you are behind call and see if making a payment to bring you current then splitting the arrearages over 6 months to a year will be an acceptable agreement. At this point if you can make any arrangements they are probably going to take the offer.

Ask if they will accept a short sale.

Sell it on rent to own or contract for deed ONLY WITH THE ASSISTANCE of a real estate Lawyer to cover all aspects of such an arrangement.

Stop the blaming game. Your the one who signed on the dotted line. If you cant afford your mortgage try renting it to someone who can, place you house up for rent and move out into a less expensive apartment. You also might try to rent out some rooms or get a second job.

You may be able to refinance your loan without cashing out. Find a "reputable" lender that can help you out with that or contact your current lender and ask them to evaluate your eligibility for a lower interest rate for the same loan.

If you find you are not able to refinance to lower your payment, then try to work out a forbearance agreement with the lender where they will adjust the payment for a short term (maybe 12 months) until you can catch up on the payments.

Otherwise, if you are not able to sell the property, and the mortgage payment is enough that a rental agreement could cover the cost of ownership, then rent it out.

Rentals are the hot thing now, since it's becoming more difficult to qualify for a home loan.

Why have realtors gotten you in such a mess? Ok let's get you some help fast, HUD has approved for this counseling service to be available to anyone who needs help, just call 888-995-help. Don't delay, they may be able to help you rearrange your debt and keep the house. Good Luck!

Start renting out rooms if you have to in order to make your payments on time.
