Sell Your House Before it is Foreclosed

This option is of course easiest if you have a good amount of equity in your house. It is also possible to sell your house if you owe more than it is worth, this process is called a short sale. Of course I don’t recommend trying to sell your house fast until you have looked at other options for stopping foreclosure.

Get the Lender to Modify Your Loan to Stop Foreclosure

A second choice you have is to contact your lender to see if they will give you a loan modification. It is not uncommon for them to temporarily lower your payment, and even just add your current missed payments on back on to the loan. You will have to contact your lender, and they will usually send you a packet of information to fill out. After you have this back to them, they will then decide if you qualify for a loan modification or any other sort of program.

During my search I found 7 duplexes that can be purchased for less than $12,000. These properties will create a very strong positive cash flow after some repairs are done. I also found an investment property in Grand Rapidsthat sold for $1,000! The property was not in great shape, but easily worth $10,000 more than they paid for it. This is just an example of persistence paying off.

During this down time that our market has taken, many great properties are being sold far below market value. This is the time for investors to buy houses in Grand Rapids, hold them for a few years, and then cash out.

Rent to own is a program designed for potential buyers that can’t quite qualify for a loan, but would really like a house to call their own. Most companies offer similar terms on rent to own, but some are better than others. It is important for you to have a good understanding of rent to own programs before you make a final decision. Here is a basic breakdown of what you should expect when looking for a rent to own property in Grand Rapids:

1. The real estate will have a purchase price, just like any house you would purchase.
2. You will need a down payment which goes towards the purchase price. This down payment is rarely refundable if you move out before gaining actual ownership of the property.
3. You will have a monthly payment. In some cases, a portion of this monthly payment goes towards the purchase of the home. In some cases it will not. Be sure you understand the terms before signing documents.
4. You will usually have between 12 and 36 months to qualify for financing from a lender. Be sure to work with a mortgage company so you know what to do to get your credit where it needs to be to qualify for bank financing.

That is the basic breakdown of a rent to own real estate transaction. There are many companies that offer rent to own locally. With the lending guidelines tightening up lately, even the companies offering rent to own properties are having trouble keeping up with the demand.
You can find many investment companies in Grand Rapids that offer rent to own properties, as well as property management companies. Our company, Razmus Ventures Inc. occasionally has rent to own real estate available also. If we have any currently, they will be seen at the bottom of this page.
