Florida’s Affordable Loan Modification Company Keeplivinginyourhome.com Comments On Rise In Foreclosures

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) December 21, 2009

With the current unemployment rate in the U.S. rising to nearly 10%, the foreclosure crisis has affected nearly 938,000 properties between July to September, compared with 890,000 in the previous quarter, and a 23% increase from the third quarter of 2008. According to RealtyTrac, if this trend continues, foreclosures may hit about 3.5 million this year, compared to 2.3 million homes last year.

“With foreclosure rates rising, it is important for homeowners to be educated about how they can prevent foreclosures. Though the Federal Government’s $ 75 billion loan modification program has achieved its goal of beginning trial loan modifications for 500,000 financially-troubled homeowners, a large number of homeowners are still at risk,” said Farid Dallal, owner and CEO of Keeplivinginyourhome.com Loan Modifications.

According to Mr. Dallal, though many lenders consider troubled homeowners for a mortgage modification to avoid foreclosure, more borrowers could face foreclosures as their moratoriums end. “I believe that homeowners should be given the opportunity and help needed to keep their homes. The loan modification process can be very confusing for homeowners. The fact is there are no real set parameters that qualify a homeowner for a modification,” said Mr. Dallal.

He also added that most banks are currently taking between six months to a year to make a decision on a mortgage application. Quite often, after waiting for so long, the loan modification is denied and the homeowner has to eventually face foreclosure. “Buyers who apply for loan modifications should first understand what the process entails. Loan modifications can affect your credit rating by a 50-100 points. If your financial situation is only temporary, it may not be the best option since it would be difficult to rebuild your credit.”

To prevent a foreclosure, Mr. Dallal advises borrowers to contact their lender to discuss foreclosure prevention options as soon as they realize they have a problem making payments – the longer they wait, the fewer options they may have. They should also be wary of foreclosure recovery scams and educate themselves about their mortgage rights and foreclosure laws and time-frames in their state.

“At Keep Living In Your Home, we believe the best way to stay in your home with an affordable payment is to assess the current situation and determine what steps are necessary to qualify for a refinance. A refinance has set parameters that have to be met in order to qualify, which helps our loan officers determine what needs to be done to make the refinance a reality,” Mr. Dallal commented.

Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Endorses National Construction Warranty Program For Investors & Takes On Florida Banks & Flippers Dumping Chinese Drywall Foreclosures

(Vocus/PRWEB) March 07, 2011

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center warning all US banks about dumping toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures on unsuspecting new buyers, with the only disclosure being-As Is. They say, “We can prove major US banks are dumping toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures on unsuspecting new buyers, with the only disclosure being-As Is. The same bank then turns around and puts a new mortgage on the house, with no disclosure to the pension fund, or investor, that buys the securitized mortgage. We call that securities fraud, and we are demanding a criminal SEC securities fraud probe.” The group is also warning all home buyers in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and or Southeast Texas to not buy any home, condo, or town home without having the property thoroughly tested for toxic Chinese drywall. They say, “Because of hurricanes Katrina, Ike, Rita, and Ivan, we have to include storm damaged homes in all US Gulf States, so our time frames for new homes, subdivisions, or condos from 2000 to 2008 just went out the window-translation it could be in any hurricane damaged home.” The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “Just because there is no federal leadership from the Obama Administration, from the US EPA, the CDC, or the absolutely pathetic US Consumer Products Safety Commission, it should not mean it is open season for Florida real estate flippers to dump an un-repaired toxic Chinese drywall home foreclosure-with no disclosure, on a completely innocent consumer, or family. Why even have an Attorney General in Florida, or Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and or Southeast Texas?” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “We have no issue with honest investors buying toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures in Florida, or the US Gulf States, as long as they buy the warranty products of the National Construction Warranty Program, and they hire a very ethical contractor, who will strictly adhere to the National Construction Warranty Program’s remediation protocol.” The group is saying, “investors involved with these flippers in Florida, and other US Gulf States, who are doing no actual repairs to these toxic Chinese drywall home foreclosures are out of their minds-just wait until the health related exposure to toxic Chinese drywall personal injury lawsuits start.” They say, “We are calling banks, and real estate flippers out for their reprehensible behavior, and we will stop them. As a indication of our resolve, we have designed a service, that will help advise honest Chinese drywall home investors on what to buy, how much to pay, suggest ethical contractors, and strategies. Our one, and only caveat is the investor buys the products from, and strictly adheres to the remediation standards set by the National Construction Warranty Program. This way everyone wins-including the investor, the ultimate consumer, and their family.” http://NationalCDW.Com

For more information about symptoms of toxic Chinese drywall, or information related to toxic Chinese drywall please visit the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center’s web site at http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center, or its parent group Americas Watchdog was not paid a fee, or given any type of compensation for their endorsement of the National Construction Warranty Program. The group says, “We have endorsed the National Construction Warranty Program because its the only sensible game in town for repairing a toxic Chinese drywall home, and because we feel like it was the right thing to do.”

Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Blasts Banks for Dumping Toxic Chinese Drywall Foreclosures in Florida – Help Wanted

(PRWEB) June 13, 2011

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “If US banks, or taxpayer owned Fannie Mae continue to dump toxic Chinese drywall home foreclosures, on completely innocent, or unknowing US home buyers, the US home foreclosure crisis just gets worse. While at the moment the toxic Chinese drywall crisis appears to be contained to Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, and Southeast Texas, we think the problem will grow into other states.” The group says, “We think banks, or Fannie Mae dumping their toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures, with the only disclosure being-As Is-onto completely innocent US home buyers is not only insane, we think it’s also securities fraud on a massive scale. If you were recently sold a As Is bank, or Fannie Mae owned home foreclosure in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, and or Southeast Texas, only to later to find out it contained toxic Chinese drywall we want to hear from you via our web site.” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “The Chinese drywall catastrophe has always been about leadership, or lack there of. Don’t think toxic Chinese drywall is a catastrophe? Move into a Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, or Southeast Texas home, subdivision, or condo project that contains toxic Chinese drywall, and then try to tell us this is not a catastrophe. Talk to a homeowner, who is scared to death for the health of their children, because they get bloody noses all of the time, or they worry, if their home’s air conditioning coils turn black, and fail each year, what is toxic Chinese drywall exposure doing to their health, and tell us this is not a catastrophe. Trust us toxic Chinese drywall is a catastrophe, and it’s a catastrophe made worse, by virtue of the fact that we have a sitting US President that seems preoccupied with winning a re-election in 2012, as opposed to leading. President Obama’s failure to lead on the US toxic Chinese drywall is a catastrophe. On Tuesday, Obama will be in Puerto Rico trying to shore up the Hispanic vote, in the hopes of getting a positive spin with relation to Hispanic Voters in Florida. President Obama will not be in Florida, leading on the toxic Chinese drywall catastrophe. Gosh-there are Hispanic voters in Florida stuck in toxic Chinese drywall Hell too. How does Obama think they will vote?” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “There will be a US Presidential Election in a year. If a Republican Candidate like Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Sarah Palin, or others want to endear themselves to a nation desperately seeking leadership, come on down to Fort Meyers, or Cape Coral, Florida, and walk through half empty subdivisions, and meet the homeowners holding on by their fingernails, hoping, and praying for leadership, as well as some help. There has been no meaningful leadership from President Obama, or his federal agencies, and we think showing up for the toxic Chinese drywall disaster is a big deal. The average US citizen will be horrified, so will the voters.” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

What are the best symptoms for toxic Chinese drywall, and or imported Knauf Tianjin Chinese drywall in 2005-2007 Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Virginia, Mississippi, and the metro areas of Houston & Austin, or in homes remodeled, or repaired after Hurricanes Katrina, Ivan, Ike, or Rita? The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “We think repeated AC coil failures, electrical device failures in the home, combined with severe allergy type symptoms are the best indicators. But, our biggest problem is getting the word out-especially in subdivisions, or with individual homeowners, in a house repaired after a hurricane.” If you have these symptoms, just call us at 866-714-6466, and we will walk you through a very simple self examination.” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Blasts Banks And Flippers For Dumping Toxic Chinese Drywall Foreclosures On Innocent Home Buyers In Florida & US Gulf States

(Vocus/PRWEB) March 22, 2011

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “If banks, or real estate flippers really think selling a As Is-toxic Chinese drywall foreclosure in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, or the Houston, or Austin metro areas of Texas, will produce no liability to the bank, or flipper-think again.” The group says, “We are firmly convinced that when the health effects related to long term exposure to toxic Chinese drywall are known—–everyone in the chain of commerce with, respect to toxic Chinese will be bankrupt, or in federal court for securities, and or shareholder fraud. We are certain the long term exposure issues for homeowners, or their families are going to be that bad. Toxic Chinese drywall degrades a homes electrical wires, copper pipes, causes air conditioning systems to fail, and its not going to bad for someone’s health?” They say, “We are aware the National Association of Homebuilders came out last week with a Band-Aid approach for toxic Chinese drywall remediation, and we are saying only a fool would buy off on this nonsense.” The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “US banks just cost the US taxpayer trillions with their mortgage scams, and they are doing it all over again with toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures in Florida, and the US Gulf South, and Wall Street, and or the bond rating agencies are just looking the other way? Are you kidding us?” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

Potential home buyers who are looking for a home in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, and or Southeast Texas should not purchase any type of home, condo, or town home without an inspection for toxic Chinese drywall. For specific information for what should be involved in an inspection for toxic Chinese drywall; home buyers are encouraged to visit the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center’s web site at http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center continues to demand the US EPA, and the Obama Administration address to the US toxic Chinese drywall disaster, in a meaningful way. The group says, “We still have a sitting US President, who has yet to mention toxic Chinese drywall one time in public. What an insult. Too busy for toxic Chinese drywall? This week the Obama’s are on vacation in Brazil?” They say, “And last week President Obama was given an award for being transparent? When it comes to the toxic Chinese drywall disaster, President Obama has not been transparent, nor have federal agencies, that are supposed to care.” The group says, “We are now warning the people of Japan to not import Chinese drywall without very robust quality controls. As a trading partner you cannot trust China, and unless you watch them like a hawk-they will cheat you, poison you, and when you discover their product is killing you-they will put you on ignore.” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Declares War On Banks/Flippers Reselling Foreclosures With Toxic Chinese Drywall In US Southeast–No Disclosure

Washington, DC (Vocus) July 22, 2010

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, “it’s time for US banks, mortgage banks, or Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and real estate flippers in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Southeast Texas to stop selling homes that contain toxic Chinese drywall-without 100% full disclosure.” They say, “banks reselling US Southeast homes with known toxic Chinese drywall puts everyone at risk, including the new homeowner, their kids, the bank, the bank shareholders, our nation’s pension funds-that buy the mortgages, and it needs to stop now.” Just as bad, they say, “real estate investors are buying these homes or condominiums knowing full well they contain toxic Chinese drywall, and then renting them out to unsuspecting renters–this must stop now, as well.” The group says, “if a person in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, or Southeast Texas purchased a bank foreclosure anytime after July 2009, only later to discover the home/condo/townhouse contained toxic Chinese drywall–we want to hear from them now.” For more information please contact the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com.

While on the topic of complete scum bags, the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is asking, “why has the Justice department failed to enter into the toxic Chinese drywall fray?” They say,” it was revealed over a month ago that a big national homebuilder, a big Florida building supply firm, and a big global Chinese drywall maker entered into an agreement in 2006 to conceal the fact that 1000′s of Florida homeowners were living in toxic homes.” The group says, “how many other big national homebuilders were involved in this wink-wink deal in Florida, or elsewhere? Does anyone have a problem with this so far? We do. Every US homeowner should have a problem with this, as well. The Feds say they have found toxic Chinese drywall in 37 US states!” Http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

On a separate note:The US Consumer Products Safety Commission has indicated that the imported Knauf Tianjin Chinese drywall, that was dumped in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Southeast Texas, in 2005 and 2006, is perhaps the most toxic of all imported Chinese drywall types. There is a national class action in New Orleans with about 4000 homeowners signed up–so far. The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “because toxic Knauf Tianjin Chinese drywall was frequently intermixed with US made drywall in states of Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and the Houston, and Austin metro areas of Southeast Texas, we are convinced the number of homes in these states with Knauf Tianjin toxic Chinese drywall exceeds 100,000.” They are saying,”because we fear Knauf might be the only Chinese drywall maker that will pay innocent US homeowners to gut and rebuild their homes in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Southeast Texas, we are doing everything we can think of to get as many Knauf Tianjin Chinese drywall homeowners identified as soon as possible.” The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, “the known time lines on Knauf Tianjin toxic Chinese drywall is 2005-2006–at least so far. The homes or phases of subdivisions that contain this building product are located in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Southeast Texas.” If a homeowner is living in a home, subdivision, or condominium, built or remodeled in 2005-2006, has had numerous AC coil failures, electrical problems, black copper wires/pipes, in combination with nose bleeds, severe upper respiratory issues, sick kids, etc, please call the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

(United States District Court-Eastern District of Louisiana MDL Case #2047)

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “did the Florida homebuilder community really think a March 2009 hatchet job would make toxic Chinese drywall disaster go away-or force the homeowners stuck in these homes to forget about it? Was it really worth the short term profits? Many of these victims have kids.”

Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Demands Banks and Flippers Stop Dumping Toxic Chinese Drywall Foreclosures in Florida & Gulf States Without Disclosure

(Vocus/PRWEB) April 13, 2011

For over a year the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is demanding all US banks, and mortgage servicing companies stop selling their toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures, with ‘As Is’ being the only disclosure, to completely innocent home buyers in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Southeast Texas. The group is also warning consumers, or potential home buyers about real estate flippers in Florida, or other US Gulf States flipping toxic Chinese drywall foreclosures for huge profits, but tragically with little, to no meaningful work done to remediate the home. They say, “We are getting phone calls everyday from home buyers in Florida, or other Gulf States, who literally just discovered the former foreclosure, or investment house they just purchased contains toxic Chinese drywall, and everybody in the food chain including real estate agent, building inspector, bank, and or the real estate flipper failed to properly disclose toxic Chinese drywall in the just purchased home.” The group says, “We are demanding the legislatures of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas enact strict disclosures laws related to full disclosure of toxic Chinese drywall, as a critical new level of consumer protection, that is long overdue in all of these states.” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “We are urging all home buyers in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, and Southeast Texas to not purchase a bank foreclosure, a short sale, or what appears to be an investor home, without a very thorough inspection for toxic Chinese drywall. While the bank foreclosure, or real estate flippers price might appear to be attractive-they are not, if the home contains toxic Chinese drywall, and the new homeowner has to gut the home, using exact protocols to make it safe to live in again.” The group says, “Because toxic Chinese home foreclosures are being re-mortgaged to new home buyers, with no disclosure to anyone, we are now accusing the complicit banks, or loan servicing companies of securities fraud, because this type of nonsense puts not only the new home buyer at risk, but all up stream investors, including our nation’s pension funds. Does anyone really think the bank, that re-mortgaged the toxic Chinese drywall home foreclosure in Florida, or a US Gulf State told the new mortgage investor, or pension fund the home contains toxic Chinese drywall, and in all likelihood the home will soon be a foreclosure again? The answer is absolutely not, and we are urging the US Justice Department & the SEC to begin an investigation immediately on these very serious crimes. We will give our full cooperation.” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

Can a toxic Chinese drywall home foreclosure in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, or Southeast Texas be repaired? The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says, “We are firmly convinced a toxic Chinese drywall home foreclosure can be remediated, in Florida, and or the US Gulf South, and the home can be safe to live in again. There is one critical proviso; you need to use an established contractor, that has a proven toxic Chinese drywall remediation protocol. However, without a specific disclosure most home buyers do not know what to look for, or how to negotiate with a bank, even if they discover toxic Chinese drywall prior to actually purchasing the home. When it comes to no disclosure of toxic Chinese drywall in the US Southeast, intentional non disclosure is wrong, and we intend to change this, by leveling the playing field for home buyers, or purchasers.” http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

Consumers, or potential home buyers in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, or Southeast Texas wishing more information about toxic Chinese drywall are strongly encouraged to visit the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center’s web site for information related to symptoms of toxic Chinese drywall, and or toxic Chinese drywall inspection protocols. http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com

Buying Montgomery foreclosures now is smart. Today the interest rates on mortgage are low and the prices of homes, bungalows, manors, estates, etc have dropped. On a $100,000 home, you will pay below $400 on mortgage payments alone and the interest rates are well below 5 percent.

Buying Montgomery foreclosures can save you loads of cash. If you are buying foreclosed homes as an investment and to make money in renting, thus now is the time to start spending. You can save 20 to 50 percent on foreclosed property around Montgomery, which means you can rent the property to make your money back quickly.

Recently, news stations online reported that Montgomery residents are part of the crowd of people losing their homes to foreclosure. Yet Montgomery seems to be in better shape than some of the other states, like California. In Montgomery only one of every 519 people are losing their home to foreclosure. Alabama foreclosures is currently ranked the 42nd on the list of foreclosures.

This is perhaps because the economy is in better standings, since the industries are strong and the economy is growing. People do not have to worry about saving 1 percent because the average sales on homes are below $150,000. Lenders in Alabama also work hard to help people keep their homes rather than wait until the last minute and repossess the home. Thus, the number of foreclosed property is not succeeding the number of foreclosure property in some of the other states.

Right now, those who buy homes or commercial property in Montgomery can save up to 20% on estates, manors, bungalows, and other property. In February, foreclosed sales estimated to 146, average sales were slightly over $209 thousand.

In Montgomery, around 200,000 people live in the area. Most of the median population makes over thirty-five grand. This probably explains why over 600 properties are on the Montgomery foreclosures list. Real estate agents, investors, and many others are searching for property through the Montgomery foreclosure list, so if you are looking for property it pays to start looking now since you may lose out on some fabulous deals. Investors know how to shop, and they will often look for outstanding deals on foreclosed property and they will buy them out before the next potential client arrives. The latest news as of April 06, 2009 is that there are 69 Montgomery Foreclosures that have been added to the existing list of foreclosures.

At least 2.1 million homes, condos and townhouses will be foreclosed in the U.S. in the next two and a half years, accounting for the highest number of foreclosures since the U.S. Savings and Loan Fraud Crisis, according to a new forecast by Housing Predictor.

The forecast is based on an analysis of the nation’s largest 100 metropolitan real estate markets by researchers during the month of May. Housing Predictor.com forecasts more than 250 local housing markets futures in all 50 U.S. states and since it’s inception the web site has maintained more than an 85% accuracy rating.

It’s a foreclosure crisis in many areas of the nation. Foreclosures are at record levels in Michigan, Ohio and Colorado. Other states that are experiencing the highest number of foreclosures include California, Alabama, Indiana and Mississippi.

The forecast comes on the heels of the Center for Responsible Lending’s alarming estimate that 2.2 million residences will be foreclosed over the same period as a result of fall out in the wake of the nation’s sub-prime lending crisis.

The fall out from the sub-prime meltdown, however, has not extended into all of the nation’s housing markets on a widespread scale, researchers found. Eighteen states local real estate markets are appreciating and an additional 10 states housing markets are showing signs of stabilizing, including much of Florida. The near record level of foreclosures are occurring as a result of increases in adjustable rate mortgages, and unethical lending practices on the part of some mortgage borrowers and lenders.

Researchers determined that the highest number of foreclosures are occurring in mortgages made to sub-prime borrowers, who obtained mortgages at higher interest rates as a result of poor credit histories and in two other areas of home lending. A break down is included in the Housing Predictor report.

Energized by low interest rates and liberalized lending standards, the nation’s housing market appreciated at record levels in many local markets for nearly five years only to come to a slow down in some areas.

Mortgages made to first time investors are also experiencing a high rate of foreclosures. In March the U.S. Commerce Department said that vacant privately owned homes had reached their highest peak in the nation’s history. Many home buyers purchased properties in hopes of making a quick profit by selling the property to a new buyer before the market reached it’s peak, and are now unable to rent or sell their properties.

Talking about Alabama foreclosures, you will find a decrease in the rate of foreclosures in February as compared to January this year. According to a real estate foreclosure listings provider, there were as many as 713 auction sale notices and bank repossessions in the last month. With these default and auction sales notices, there was one foreclosure filing for 2,997 households in Alabama. This rate of foreclosure is much lower than the rate of foreclosure in the US where one out of every 440 households has a foreclosure notice.

Now, the situation for Gulf Shores foreclosures is not too different. The rate is decreasing but there are several options available for anyone to make an investment. At present, there are 25% homes that are owned by individuals with 9% are on rent. The great thing for investors is that there are 64% vacant homes in here. It means that there are lots of opportunities to make an investment.

Although majority of homes available in these areas are resale home several foreclosure affected properties are also available invest in. But, if you are looking to earn big money, you need to spot the right areas to find a foreclosure affected home in. here, you must also spend some time in finding a home in popular zip codes. Some of the popular zip codes include 36532, 36526, 36561, 36535 and 36542. These are the areas where buying a home is better than others. But, you must keep in mind that average price for homes in these areas may be from $215,146 to $559,401. The home prices in 36561 are the highest.

The fact of the matter is that if you are interested in Gulf Shores foreclosures, you have to take few things into consideration. Before making an investment decision, you must consider the decreasing rate of foreclosures in this area to determine if investing is a good option or not. You may have to research a bit to find the right area and zip codes to invest in, but your research will enhance your profit margin. So, always spend some time in researching and familiarizing with the market trends existing in this real estate market.
