Your home is the last thing you want to loose. Unfortunately even though we know this is a fact, we tend to take our mortgage payment for granted or we loose our income and end up loosing our homes. In the following case a foreclosure will happen. When a borrower fails to pay his or her mortgage for a number of payments (usually 3) the lender will foreclose by selling or repossessing the home.

More often than not lenders lead their borrowers to believe they don't have other options available. There are other alternatives that homeowners can use to keep their house off the auction block. The following is a list of ideas to consider if your in the foreclosure process.

1- Short stop
In some cases you can get a short refinance for the foreclosure of you property. If you don't want a new loan to cover an existing one. You can ask help of a Friend. A borrower's Friend or relative can buy or pay off the mortgage.

2-Negotiate a different payment plan
In this case the homeowner agrees to a portion of the amount and and agrees to pay the rest in the succeeding months. The homeowner shows proof the their income and pays a down payment. This a much easier way and most lenders agree to this plan. Keep in mind this is not a long term fix it is normally only a short term (3-5 month) agreement.

3-Change of plans
