It's all new to them and it's easy to get confused with the process. So I laid out the timeline for most foreclosures below. Your foreclosure case may vary, so please consult your lender for more specific timeframes. Ther...

NEVER WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE LESS THAN 1 WEEK (to call your lender for help) BEFORE YOUR HOME IS SCHEDULED TO BE AUCTIONED OFF. In order to get the best chance of relief from your lender – you need to have a at least a good 3 day cushion to work with BEFORE your auction date. So many people call my... Real Estate Edward Packman Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=335114&ca=Real+Estate I UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO MAKE A BUCK, especially in this economy. But some of you out there (and you know who you are) need to be exposed for the greedy way in which you handle your business. I’m referring to a few companies that cater to homeowners by “helping” them get out of fo... Finances Edward Packman Mon, 22 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=330682&ca=Finances SHOULD THE PRICE OF ANY SERVICE BE INCREASED IF THE BUYER IS DESPERATE FOR THAT SERVICE? Anyone with a set of morals would say absolutely not. But that’s what’s happening today in the foreclosure rescue industry. Many rescue companies are increasing their fees as the foreclosure crisis spirals out o...

It seems like every time a homeowner gets into a tight spot, there’s a whole crew of professionals ready to “help them” get out of that jam. Whether it’s a ref... Real Estate Edward Packman Mon, 22 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=330698&ca=Real+Estate IT’S JUST HUMAN NATURE TO BE SCARED WHEN THE THOUGHT OF LOSING YOUR HOME IS LOOMING OVER YOUR HEAD, but I’m seeing an injustice going on that I want to shed some light on for you. You see, there’s a major myth that’s making the rounds lately, here it is; as soon as a homeowner is in default on the m...

If you were aware of the options available to you BEFORE you fell into foreclosure, would you take a different route and nip that foreclosure in the bud, before it gets out of control? What 95% of homeowners...

The story is about the inner workings of a “foreclosure rescue” scam artist and how he (and his team) managed to steal more than $8 million in homes an...

This plan has been in the works for approximately 1 year now, and we’re still (in my opinion) at least 3 to 5 months away from it becoming a reality.

I think of what it does to a credit score and how it’s probably the worst item that could show up on a credit report. I also wonder what the homeowner really understands about his / her credit report and that...
