Foresclosure: The First Step--Moving Beyond Denial

Have you seen your home's value drop and your payments rise? Are you considering what to do and feeling backed into a corner? You are not alone. So many homes are in trouble in Riverside County, many of them right here in the Coachella Valley, that entire subdivisions look nearly abandoned.

Good, hardworking people are struggling to keep their homes and worrying about what to do if they can't maintain the payments. We receive calls every week from people who have gotten to the stage where they know they must do something, but don't know where to turn. They have lost jobs, seen decreased income from investments, gone through divorce, illness, or other catastrophe. The pain keeps on coming, and they finally admit that it is too much, they need to find a way out.

That is the first step, of course. You hear it whenever anyone is in trouble, no matter what the cause. Any problem we face can be ignored, for a time. Sooner or later, though, we have to face up to the problem before it steamrolls us. Take it from us, when faced with the threat of foreclosure, the sooner we face the reality of our situation, the sooner we can rid ourselves of the problem and move on with our lives.
