GUIDE FOR UPSIDE DOWN PROPERTY OWNERS

For the past three years, I’ve been regularly advising upside-down property owners on the challenges, risks, and strategies of dealing with their lenders and upside down loans. Over 2,000 borrowers and their Realtors have consulted with us to determine what they should do. As our nation’s economy slowly recovers, some solutions have improved such as lender’s willingness to do short sales while others have gotten worse such as the failure of loan modification programs. And we’re now defending more and more clients from lender and collection company lawsuits seeking deficiency judgments.

At the request of several clients, we’re providing the following informational links to Outlines that can help owners and Realtors know which questions to ask and learn which way to proceed.
