			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are at risk of foreclosure, that tap you hear on your door between December 19 and January 3 could be Santa or holiday guests, but it won’t be Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac personnel.  Both agencies are halting foreclosures until the New Year.  The two week break will allow families to celebrate the holidays without fear of eviction.  New York-based Citigroup is even more generous and will halt all foreclosures and evictions for 30 days until mid-January – a gift to over 4,000 borrowers.</p>
<p>If you could get that knock on the door soon, <a href="http://www.expresshomebuyers.com/">Express Homebuyers</a> offers an alternative.  We will buy your home and guarantee completion of the process within a couple weeks.  We tell you up front what we will pay; if you agree, you are on the way to a quick resolution.  We even offer you a <a href="http://www.expresshomebuyers.com/how-it-works.html">$2,500 upfront advance</a> you can use to begin your fresh start.  Call us at <strong>1-877-804-5252</strong> or check out our <a href="http://www.expresshomebuyers.com/">Express Homebuyers</a> website for more details.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The New Year is typically a time when people consider fresh starts.  One way to do that if your prospects for getting ahead are pretty limited is to rid yourself of house debt for a while. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is nothing like the holidays to exaggerate financial stress.  You know the drill.  Your bills already exceed your income, and you have holiday gifts to buy and other extra expenses thrown in – a new blouse for Susie’s Christmas concert, a couple strings of lights and a tree, extra food costs for baking supplies and family dinners.  A couple hundred dollars can push you over the edge at a time of year that is supposed to be happy.</p>
<p>A week after Christmas, you may be making New Year’s resolutions that include some things you would like to do but may have little control over.  Getting out of debt or at least in better financial shape may top the list, but unless you are wasting your money on riotous living, it’s pretty hard to get ahead unless you suddenly start making more money.  In the current economy, it is hard to pick up second job to supplement your income at a time when your first one may be risk.</p>
<p>The New Year is typically a time when people consider fresh starts.  One way to do that if your prospects for getting aheadis to rid yourself of house debt for a while.  Perhaps a few years in a rental property or sharing a home with family might put you in a more stable position where you would be better prepared to be a homeowner.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.expresshomebuyers.com/">Express Homebuyers</a> can help you turn things around quickly.  We will buy your home for cash!  Call us and within a couple weeks, we will have assumed all of your housing headaches.  You can reach us at <strong>1-877-804-5252</strong> or on our <a href="http://www.expresshomebuyers.com/">Express Homebuyers</a> website.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The most recent report released December 10 indicated that the program is not only on target but ahead of schedule in terms of people who are at some point in the process.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After 10 months,  how is the effort to modify loans going?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.makinghomeaffordable.com/">President Obama promised that nearly 4 million homeowners would be helped through modification</a>, but the initial efforts went slowly as lenders moved slowly.  In July, the President and his staff called lender representatives to Washington and told them to pick up the pace.  The most recent <a href="http://www.financialstability.gov/docs/MHA%20Public%20121009%20Final.pdf">report</a> released December 10 indicated that the program is not only on target but ahead of schedule in terms of people who are at some point in the process.</p>
<ul>
<li>728,000 modifications have been made – 25,318 of them in the Washington, DC metro area</li>
<li>Borrowers with modified loans are saving an average of $550 per month</li>
<li>Only 31,382 borrowers have moved from the trial phase of the program to the permanent phase</li>
<li>So far, most borrowers are keeping up with their payments</li>
</ul>
<p>The Administration met with lenders and loans servicers in Washington this week to ascertain if they are doing all they can to make the trial conversions permanent.  Meanwhile, the push is on for people in their <a href="http://www.makinghomeaffordable.com/understandtp.html">trial period</a> to sign the paperwork to make the modification permanent.</p>
<p>As noted by Chief of Treasury&#8217;s Homeownership Preservation Office (HPO) Phyllis Caldwell, the report proves that “struggling homeowners across the country continue to receive immediate relief in the form of reduced monthly payments and a second chance to stay in their homes.&#8221;</p>
<p>These facts contradict a study by a watchdog group that came out the same day as the government report.  The study claims only 10,000 permanent modifications have been completed and echoes Treasury department fears that 40% of people with modified home loans will re-default within 5 years.</p>
<p>For many homeowners, loan modification is a solution that can work long term if the reduction is substantial enough and if the other expenses associated with the home fit within the budget.  For others, who have a home too pricey for them, other debt, or a faltering job, the process may only prolong the agony before they either lose the home or make the decision to move on.</p>
<p>If you are debating whether you should modify your loan or go another route, <a href="http://www.expresshomebuyers.com/">Express Homebuyers</a> offers an alternative.  We will buy your home for cash and guarantee completion of the process within a couple weeks.  We tell you up front what we will pay; if you agree, you are on the way to a quick resolution.  We even offer you a <a href="http://www.expresshomebuyers.com/how-it-works.html">$2,500 upfront advance</a> so you can plan your fresh start.  Call us at <strong>1-877-804-5252</strong> or check out our <a href="http://www.expresshomebuyers.com/">Express Homebuyers</a> website for more details.</p>
