Mortgage Modifications Are Not Only For The Poor

Mortgage modifications have received a lot of publicity in the media due and with good reason, millions and millions (4-5 according to government projections) will be left homeless if they don’t make appropriate loan modifications to their mortgages.

However that does not mean that loan modifications are only for the poor and destitute. We can all take advantage of the historic low interest rates and modify our loan or mortgage. Of course this is not an option that will help everyone, in some cases loan modifications cost more than they save and the only benefit they provide is to reduce monthly payments in exchange of a huge increase in interest payments throughout the life of the loan.
