Feldman Law Center – California Loan Modification Information For 2009
Over the last two years, tens of millions of people have learned far more about loan modifications than they ever thought they would. The economic crisis and real estate crash forced people caught in difficult situations and overwhelming mortgages to look for their best options to keep their home. Foreclosure signs littered entire neighborhoods, and the state of California was thrown into a tale spin from which is has not yet recovered.
The question then becomes “how can I keep my home in spite of everything that’s happening?” The answer might be different for everyone, but one thing is for sure, a California loan modification attorney might just be your new best friend. It has become clear that Wall Street’s interference with the real estate industry has caused more chaos than every before. Entire neighborhoods used subprime mortgages to buy their homes, and as a result those neighborhoods are at risk of total collapse.
Contrary to popular belief, loan modifications have been around for a long time, helping people throughout California, and the rest of America, stay in their homes. Yet, since our current economic crisis has led to so many foreclosures and bankruptcies, homeowners, politicians and even lenders are trying to find the best way to get a loan modification.
In order to qualify for a loan modification in 2009, here is some information you might want to know:
Every creditor and lender has their own loan modification guidelines. For example, the loan modification process at Wells Fargo might be completely different than the one at Washington Mutual. It’s vital that you spend time learning your lender’s criteria, and how their loan modification application works.
Learn about your debt ratio. A debt ratio lets you know how much you owe versus your monthly income. Your lender will use this information to determine the new target amount of your monthly mortgage payment.
Your disposable income is important. You are going to have to take stock of how much you spend each month, if you haven’t already. Loan modification applications include a financial statement which represents a complete breakdown of how much money you bring in every month and what your expenses are. The person applying for the loan modification has to show all of his or her monthly bills against the monthly income in order to prove it’s possible to continue to make monthly mortgage payments at a lower rate.
Hardship letters are an important part of the process. Possibly the most important part of the loan modification process is the hardship letter which details your explanation of the financial situation you find yourself in. It also explains why you want to keep your house and your future plans. All of this will give the lender a clear picture of your situation.
As you can see, the loan modification process is not simple, and in fact it requires a great deal of preparation, research and knowledge to execute properly. Contact a loan modification attorney today to help you carry out your loan modification application in the best way possible.

Health Insurance Leads a Stepping Stone to Sales
Most of the insurance companies that are not doing well as far as selling their policies is concerned, are mainly lacking two things. One, they are investing too much into purchasing health insurance leads and second they are not able to utilize them towards their full capacity.
A company is termed as unsuccessful due to the failure of the employees who could not get things together to achieve the companies overall goals. In this case the employees or the insurance agents are not able to convert the leads to potential buyers. The company faces almost a double loss when it invests in buying the health insurance leads. A company should be training the agents well so as to ensure that returns are many folds on the leads that they have purchased. The health insurance leads are purchased on pay per lead basis. Only if an insurance agent is able to make a sale out of it, the purchasing cost of that particular lead is recovered.
Most of the insurance agents or providers are unable to meet their target due to two reasons –
- Negative outlook: Some agents would have a negative approach while exploring a potential buyer. Only when you think that you can turn the lead to an actual sale, only then one can crack the deal.
- Being lazy or shy to get in touch with the customers: Most of the agents are not comfortable calling the potential buyers again and again. They conveniently assume that the potential buyer would not be interested. This is the most damaging approach a company’s insurance agent could have. As there could be 10 other reasons why the prospective buyer is not able to give you an appointment or is not able to revert to a call or a mail. It would not necessarily mean that he is not interested.
Other things being constant in case the insurance agent or provider is able to consider to shed off the above mentioned approached – not only would he be doing great for the company but would be managing a great remuneration for himself as well.
Unitech to Invest Rs 2000 Cr This Year
Real estate major Unitech said it will invest Rs 2,000 crore this fiscal — 33 per cent more than last year — in construction of new projects, mostly housing, across the country.
The announcement comes a day after the Reserve Bank increased the short-term lending rate which may make home loans costlier by up to one percentage point.
Unitech has also fixed a target to achieve a 20 per cent growth in sales booking this fiscal to about Rs 5,500 crore as it plans to launch more projects this year in cities where it is already present as well as new locations.
“We have a land bank of about Rs 7,500 acres across the country. We want to monetize our land bank and therefore the company has decided to focus this year on getting approvals for more projects and then launching it,” Unitech Vice President (Corporate Planning and Strategy) R Nagaraju said.
He said the company has earmarked an investment of Rs 2,000 crore in the current fiscal year on construction against Rs 1,500 crore during last fiscal.
Nagaraju said the company has launched 14 projects since January and plans to bring more this fiscal.
In February, Unitech had announced that it would launch 10 million sq ft of area in next six months, out of which the company has so far launched three million sq ft.
The company plans to enter new cities like Hyderabad, Cochin, Bangalore, Dehradun and Cochin by September.
“We are aiming for about 20 per cent growth in sales booking in 2011-12 fiscal from about Rs 4,500 crore last fiscal,” he said and claimed that the company’s sales booking have not been affected because of controversies related to 2G telecom scam.
