Avoiding Foreclosure in Florida
Foreclosure attorneys in Miami Florida, such as Christian N. Folland, Esq. of Folland & Associates, LC, help clients avoid the foreclosure trap caused by sinking real estate values and adjustable rate mortgage loans. Lenders faced with high numbers of borrowers defaulting on their mortgage loans are filing record numbers of foreclosures. Although many lenders are also accepting mortgage modification agreements to reduce loan payments and short sale payoffs, numerous over extended borrowers will have no option but foreclosure. Some of the more common reasons contributing to the high number of foreclosures include the following:
- Lenders allowing borrowers to obtain 100% or greater financing;
- Lenders approving loans to borrowers with no income or asset verification;
- Borrowers accepting adjustable rate mortgage loans with teaser rates;
- Depressed property values making refinances difficult;
- Overextended borrowers with multiple investment mortgage loans.
Christian N. Folland, Esq., owner of Folland & Associates, LC and South Pointe Title Company in Miami Beach, Florida, is a Florida Bar Certified real estate attorney experienced in negotiating with lenders to help borrowers avoid foreclosure. Lenders prefer to avoid the foreclosure process because it is very time consuming, very expensive, and often results in the lender owner the property. Mr. Folland works with lenders and borrowers to obtain mortgage modification agreements or short sale approval, often without damaging the borrower’s credit rating.
