Home Owners Assistance

Don’t ignore your lender’s warnings about late mortgage payments, even if your situation seems hopeless, because there are ways to save your home from foreclosure. Learn what steps you should take before it’s too late.

The best way to avoid foreclosure is to prevent the filing of a Notice Of Default. Lenders do not want to foreclose but will file a Notice of Default to protect their interests, if necessary. If you know you are unlikely to meet your mortgage obligation, the first thing you should do is call your lender.

Don’t put it off, be embarrassed or ignore letters from your lender because those responses will make the situation worse, not better. Depending on your particular situation and hardship circumstances, there are some options your lender might propose to you.

Lenders might agree to wait before taking legal action against you and let you work out a repayment plan that is affordable for you. The lender uses Forbearance,Time to make up your payments. Forgiving a payment. Spread out the missed payments over a longer term. Changing the terms of your loan. Add the back payments to your loan balance. Make a separate loan to you. Certain government loans contain provisions that let borrowers who meet specific criteria apply for another loan, which will pay back the missed payments. This is called a Refinance Loan.

Homeowners may be able to reinstate their loan to help stop foreclosure on their home. Reinstatement is available to homeowners who can demonstrate to a lender that they have available funds to pay back the outstanding balance on their mortgage.

Total reinstatement involves bringing the delinquent loan current in one payment. The homeowner are required to provide a certified check that will include all past due payments, late charges and any fees
and costs, which have been assessed to the account.

Reinstating your loan to stop foreclosure also has its negatives including coming out of pocket with some funds to get into a plan.

Forbearance Agreements a valuable tools for lenders at the first sign of a trouble with payments. Lenders seldom immediately shut down credit upon the initial default. Typically provide the borrower with option to pay late payments. A special mortgage forbearance agreement is a written repayment agreement between a lender and a mortgagor that contains a plan to reinstate a foreclosure loan that is a minimum of three payments due and unpaid.

If you qualify for a Special Mortgage Forbearance agreement, you may be allowed to postpone monthly mortgage payments for a minimum of four months. While there is no limit on the maximum number of months for a mortgage forbearance agreement, at no time may the agreement allow the delinquency to exceed the equivalent of 12 monthly payments.

Loan modification includes changing the original terms of the mortgage through one or a combination of the following methods increasing the loan balance, increasing the number of payments to pay off the entire loan. A loan modification requires the approval of the bank. A modification fee will be charged as well as a cash contribution toward compliance with any additional requirements of the bank.

When the lender files a Notice of Default, your options are limited. That is why it is better for you to call your lender before falling behind on your payments, because lenders are often reluctant to work out repayment schedules after foreclosure proceedings have been commenced.

You will be given a certain time period to bring the payments current, pay the costs of filing the foreclosure and stop the foreclosure. This is called reinstatement of your loan. If you cannot make up the missed payments and the lender will not work with you, there are a few other options to stop foreclosure.

It’s important to find someone who can provide professional assistance in helping you reinstate your loan and give you peace of mind in knowing that an experienced professional is handling your reinstatement negotiations.

The Real Secret to Building Online Credibility

So why is credibility so important to your internet marketing success?

Well just think about credibility like this: Would you personally hire a babysitter who had a lot of references and plenty of experience or a kid who will be babysitting for the first time and has no track record that you can check to take care of your kids? Wait… don’t decide yet. Let’s say that the babysitter with the references and the experience charges twice as much as the inexperienced baby sitter. Hmmm… you’d probably still opt for the experienced one, right?   This is exactly the way that internet marketing works. The one with the most credibility WINS. If you are able to position yourself and an expert in your field, you then become the hunted instead of the hunter.

You are now believed to be the alpha leader who can help them get what they want. You are the answer to their problems.

So the real trick is becoming this leader and building your online credibility. We can do this several different ways.

1. Sharing your knowledge is a useful way to build your credibility. This can be done through monitoring discussion lists and   boards that your potential customers visit. Answer questions and be a regular contributor to the list so that people come to know and respect your knowledge.

2. Testimonials can be a powerful way to generate trust in your product or service. A testimonial is a statement from a happy customer saying how your product or service helped them. Set up systems to gain unsolicited testimonials whenever you can. When you gather testimonials to publish on your site, ensure that you have permission to publish them. Also, never make up testimonials to boost your credibility as more often than not you will be caught out and be discredited.

3. An About Page to show your history. “Since 1989″ looks real nice to someone wondering if your a legit company or not.

4. Pictures.  Pictures will give your company a personalized feel and will allow you to connect more with your customer.

Credibility is something that is earned. Therefore, you need to give of yourself to get trust back in return. Remember that each thing you do in your business will affect the image of your business. Being focused on providing solutions to your customers, providing consistent quality and value for money, and being accessible will all help you achieve the credibility your business needs to succeed.

How Your Home Business Keeps You Healthy

It made me smile this morning as I was listening to the Today Show. We all know there are many benefits to having a home based business; but while watching the interview with Bruce Weinstein of BusinessWeek.com talk about how over 46 million Americans do not receive sick pay, as a home business owner I had to smile.

I don’t have any statistics to provide you that shows people who work from home are healthier than those that go to an office building everyday that filters old stale air day after day. But it should be obvious, home business owners have an advantage. They do not have to deal with dirty air or sick people sitting next to them everyday passing on those cold and flu germs.

Productivity

Bruce was really talking about the ethics of someone going to work sick. Unfortunately, when their employer can not or does not pay for that time off employees are forced to show up for work sick if they expect to get paid.

It makes you wonder since we all know that when you do not feel well you are not very productive. You can not think clearly and you spend more time focused on not feeling good.

When you’re the boss you can stay home, you can pay yourself sick pay and you can stay in bed and get better. This is better for your health and everyone you dealing with daily. Not stressing your body by going into work will increase your recovery time, allowing you to get back to more productive business activities sooner.

Increased Home Start Ups

This is just another reason why there is such a huge influx of new home business startups everyday. Parents with young children have a difficult decision every time their children or they get sick. Daycare will not take the child and their boss is not going to pay them to stay home to care for them.

This is a huge benefit for parents with young children. Working from home allows parents to meet both needs: care for their ill child while building a business.

This is not to say that people who work from home do not get sick, they most certainly do. But not being exposed to all those germs day after day during the cold and flu season certainly gives them a better chance of staying healthy.

So if you’re looking for one more reason to start your own home business then look to your health. Having the ability to make your own choice is rewarding, and ultimately more productive to your business.

The Meaning of XING

When my wife and I took our first trip to California before we moved here, we saw a large population of Asian Americans in San Francisco. We had come West from Massachusetts, partly because the state we lived in felt like it was still attached to a round world, and we were seeking the new flat world.

California fit that more modern heterogeneous model of a flat world state.

As we were driving down to Big Sur, we passed a number of schools where the crosswalk had the letters “XING” stenciled onto the roadway in large white letters.

After seeing them a number of times, I turned to my wife and said “See all those “XING” words in the crosswalks?”

“Yes I have,” she answered “and I’ve been wondering what they mean.”

Now by nature, and hopefully nurture as well, I am not a nasty person prone to pranks or wisecracks, put-downs or practical jokes. But for some reason I couldn’t resist. Maybe the devil made me do it …

“Well “XING” is Chinese for “Be Careful”. It tells all the Asian American kids who can’t speak good English yet that they need to watch out when they cross the road.”

“That’s really nice. I knew I liked California, they would never do something like that back home.”

“That’s right,” I told her. “Only in California.”

For the rest of the trip, every time we passed a school and drove across a crosswalk, we would sing in unison “XING” (sounds like Shing, only hold the end for a few seconds).

Until she finally figured it out. “XING”was nothing more than a shortened version of “CROSSING”, like Xmas is a shortened version of Christmas.

After that trip, whenever one of us would fake the other one out, the Faker had the right to say “XING”, as in “Gotcha”, to the Fakee.

Now what on earth, flat or round, does this have to do with Internet Copywriting?

Simple…

If you’ve read this far, you were hooked by the story. And if I was selling “XING” soap or, more likely, a “XING” web marketing scam, you might be well on your way to becoming one of The Converted.

So here’s the lesson and the real meaning of “XING”.

Great or even good storytelling is one of the most powerful and seductive ways a Copywriter can take control of your mind. So be careful where you put your brain.

If you let a great Copywriter lead you down the garden path, if you give your self over to someone’s compelling story, before you know it you’ll be hitting that “Buy Now” button.

Then again, it might just be worth it to pay for the entertainment.

P.S. I’d also bet you won’t forget the new meaning of “XING” for a long time.

P.P.S. I also know that if you tried to sing it the way I told you, you’ll probably hear it inside your head the next time you drive across a crosswalk marked “XING”.

I am a highly successful copywriter whose work you have more than likely read. I am currently copywriting for my own information products, under the banner of KnowledgeStar, providing advice for The Boomers - from living healthier lives using alternative medicines to making money investing in disruptive technology.

I want to share what I have learned with other aspiring online copywriters and people trying to make money online with web marketing.
