I Am A Boomerang Buyer

Seeing other people reactions towards foreclosure helps me to develop a meaningful value of life and how to appreciate it everyday of my life. As I see what is going on around me I came up with three plans that can be executed to help all people who are dealing with foreclosure issues. This can become a major factor for the economy. One is called Own A Home , Financially Fit, and Bills To Kill. These are guaranteed plans that will help any individual that feels that they are not financially secured to become a homeowner. The Own A Home program is designed for aspiring homeowner in which they

Too many Americans have fallen victim to the crisis that has become the norm for our citizens these days. Lenders no longer want to work with individuals who have gone through the foreclosure process and for many it is not only their homes they lose. Some have lost their jobs and/or families, others fall into a deep depression and worst of all some have taken their own lives.

Foreclosure in America has been a rising and prominent problem recently, and has destroyed many Americans hopes and dreams. Over 2.3 million homes were foreclosed in 2008, and an estimated four million homes will be foreclosed by the end of this year. Despite the efforts of many banks and lending companies, over half of homes will foreclose that have received their help. I believe that we have only started in the right direction in solving the foreclosure crisis. Giving money and lowering mortgage rates will help, but I believe we should find out why Americans are in this situation in the first place. We are being too stereotypical when we think the only reason someone is foreclosing is because of irresponsible payments or buying a home

Many consumers who are looking to purchase a home again with the recovery of the housing market may not have the ideal financial background to get started. In order to discover whether or not they qualify, these potential borrowers should first consult with a mortgage professional, such as a

I often used to watch a show called “Extreme Makeover” where a team of builders would come to a neighborhood, build a need worthy family a beautiful new home, and then just give it to them. “Wow! What a lucky family,” I would say. “How fortunate.” However, as time went by, that same family would be in the news again. Why? The house was in foreclosure. The people had gone to the bank and taken out a mortgage against the home, then spent all the money they got for it on other things.

For those who had the unthinkable misfortune to lose their home and go through foreclosure, it isn’t the end. In fact, if they still dream of becoming homeowners again, it can happen. It may take a while, years in fact, but it can be done. The first thing a potential boomerang buyer (previous foreclosure victim in the process of transition to own property again) should do is to be educated on the recovery process after foreclosure. Foreclosure doesn’t necessarily begin the day you pack up, move, and turn over your keys to the bank. Foreclosure could literally take years after that. A foreclosure is listed on your credit report for seven years. It may be listed longer, but it can really only be held against you for that long. However, this doesn’t mean you have to wait seven years or longer after foreclosure to purchase property again. The time you have to wait will largely depend on the lender, the type of loan and your credit.

There are also other reasons a person can end up in foreclosure. Many people have chosen foreclosure, even though they were able to pay their bills with ease. There are 2 primary reasons people have chosen foreclosure over continuing to pay their debt.

In reverse order, the first step is to overcome the lack of confidence that frequently results from loss of a home to foreclosure. The easiest way to overcome that lack of confidence is education. Boomerang buyers need to take full advantage of all resources available to them to learn as much as possible about the current credit and

The current housing market while not quite as oversupplied as during 2007-2009 is still leaning in that direction in some parts of the country. This means that there are those who have mortgages on homes that they would like to keep but are overextended on. These homeowners would be likely candidates for the “Boomerang Buyers” to approach and suggest the idea of a rent-to-own arrangement. Research needs to be done to determine if the

“Shit happens” is probably what most of these foreclosed homeowners hear after they were forced to leave their comfy home. Even though the economy is unpredictable, not a lot of the victims are satiable by such a vague expression that has caused them to lose their property. It’s a harsh comment, but the economy has turned into something that we have little influence over. One of the worst feelings is having minimal control over the consequences and outcome. Some people are afraid to make the same home-buying decision again as a result, because what’s stopping the economy from taking another shit on them again? The answer is probably nothing, but what are some actions these homeowners can take to ease into settling down in a home again? Foreclosure victims can try to improve their credit score and it could get them that approved private loan in return if needed. Saving money is also a general option for those that tend to spend a lot on luxury retail goods. Another option can be utilizing the rent-to-own option to have that ‘homey’ feeling as soon as possible. Some people can also test their patience and attempt to wait it out until the economy exits the lavatory.

There is no shortage of programs now available in the mortgage industry to help ease the foreclosure crisis. Although some of them provide direct financial assistance to key participants in the foreclosure process to encourage them to find a less costly alternative, there is really no national effort to address one of the most stubborn factors that often leads to foreclosure and in some cases thwarts efforts to avoid it.

I believe the best way to get out of our foreclosure crisis is to expand the pool of eligible buyers by changing the financing guidelines and increase funding for down-payment assistance. The American Dream has always been home ownership, and it will

Brooklyn, NY – December 30, 2009 Foreclosures continue to rise drastically across the United States due to the recession, and have effected, and continue to affect thousands of families and individuals every day. One aspect we must take into consideration is that most people are not informed of what foreclosure means, or the process, even those who are homeowners. I believe that one step to preventing foreclosure is to educate first-time homebuyers. In addition, first-time homebuyer programs should not only assist potential buyers with financially preparing them to buy a home, but to keep the home once

I and my family were lucky to find a house for rent but what about the people that didn’t have that opportunity to rent a home, the struggle is hard and we need a roof in our head in order to survive. One of the things that cause these foreclosures in my opinion is that the real estate agents don’t explain everything correctly to the buyers. In my parents case the real estate agent never mentioned the bad things that can happen when losing a house. But this is common when someone wants to sell something they invent many stories and try to make people

Foreclosure is one of the hardest things that a person can be introduced to. It can make a person or break a person, but for me it made me so much stronger. I can truly say I have accomplished much more since getting out of a foreclosure scam at a very young age of 16. Throughout that hard time I just continued to not only motivate myself, but my mother because I understand getting something taken away from you that you have worked hard for can destroy a good person. This is what happened to my family and I, and what we did to overcome it.
