Nevada Loan Modification

Keys to getting a loan Modification in Nevada:

  • Communication with your lender is a must in receiving a Nevada loan modification.

Many homeowners fall into a trap of not communicating with their mortgage lender when they begin to fall behind on their mortgage payments.  The bank notices keep coming in the mail and the collection calls can be overwhelming to people and instead of dealing with them.  They put them off for various reasons.  Once you begin dialogue with your lender or contact a Nevada loan modification company or a Nevada Loan Modification attorney you’ll have begun the process of getting a loan modification.

  • Having verifiable income or job is a must.

Many people who lose their jobs initially won’t take a new job unless their income is equal to or greater than what they were making because they believe they won’t be able to make their payments on a lower income.  However, when applying for a loan modification, you must have income in order get approved.  Traditionally, lenders have set guidelines for debt to income ratio (DTI).  DTI is calculated based on a borrower’s monthly debt on their credit report divided by their gross monthly income.  Lenders will significantly loosen the DTI guidelines for people with a job to keep them in the home rather than foreclose on the homeowner. In today’s job market, it can be challenging and time consuming to find an equal paying job, so if a homeowner had a hardship such as losing their job, but the homeowner has gotten another job even though it might be a lower paying job they will have a chance at getting approved for a loan medication in Nevada.

  • Letter of explanation of why you can no longer make your mortgage payment.

Generally, a job loss is the most common hardship explanation for borrowers.  Whatever the hardship, it will need explained in a hardship letter and what a borrower will want to focus on is how you’re recovering from the hardship not just the fact that you had a hardship.  Most people tell the lender they lost their job and in the borrower’s mind that should be good enough to have the lender modify the loan.  However, the lender is really looking at how the is going to recover from the job loss.

  • Credit score

Contrary to what most people believe, it is not necessary to have a good credit score when applying for a
Nevada Loan Modification.  Lenders realize that people who are applying for loan modifications have likely gotten to where their credit score has deteriorated due to missed and or late payments.  What the lender is more focused on and looking for from a borrower is the likelihood that the borrower will be able to make their payments going forward under the modified terms of the loan.  If the borrower can show they will be able to make their new payments the lender will likely approve the loan modification rather than foreclose on the borrower.
