Common Client Related FAQ’s Should I tell a client not to pay their mortgage? No. If your client is facing imminent default, but has not yet made a late mortgage payment, do not advise them not to pay. We will contact their lender to determine if they work with borrowers who have not yet been late.
How long does the loan modification process take? Because each lender is set up differently to handle loan modification requests, each time frame will be different. However, the average time to complete is between 30-45 days, with some cases extended further.
What about a client who has filed for bankruptcy? Find out when the discharge date occurred. If the BK has been discharged, there is an opportunity for a modification. We must review these on a case by case basis.
What about a client with a 2nd Home, or Investment Property? 2nd Homes and Investment properties can be a bit more complicated than a traditional owneroccupied single property owner. These must be reviewed on a case by case basis. The major deciding factor for 2nd home or investment property modification is the source of “hardship”. Because of this, we will review each of these individually.
Do we have examples of hardship letters? Yes. Check the LoanModUS.com website. There are appropriate items to mention in the hardship letter, and other items that should be left out. Please review the website information.
Are there any additional costs to the client besides the initial fee? No.

How do I document a Self-Employed Clients Income? Have the client prepare a Profit & Loss statement for the most recent quarter of business activity. Calculate income using the Profit & Loss.
What are ALL of the documents that I need to gather? Initially: Mortgage Statement & Pay Stubs faxed to 702-944-7847. Likely requested after approval: Previous Year 1040, 6 months Bank Statements (Checking&Savings, Business&Personal), Other Sources of Income Documentation ie. Social security, Child Support, Annuity etc…
Should I send the v3 Monthly Expense Worksheet to my client to fill out, or fill it out with them? It is entirely up to you. We have found greater success in making an appointment with the client to fill out the form together, whether over the phone, or in person. Emailing the client the form is good as well. Just make sure the client is computer literate & knows how to return/attach the form in an email.
Can we help clients living in a manufactured home? Yes.
My client is in a NegAM ARM and can’t afford the minimum payment, what now? Most likely, if the client is unable to afford their minimum payment, they will not be able to afford the modified loan. Perform an analysis of their financial situation, and we will review the case together.
