Mistake #1 – Wasting time
- Wishful thinking and avoiding the problem will not make your foreclosure go away. Every day you avoid dealing with the situation reduces your chance of salvaging some of your equity and your credit rating. Once the Notice of Default is filed, the legal process will grind ahead towards a foreclosure sale. The longer you wait the harder and more costly it is to avoid financial disaster.
Mistake #2 – Dealing with “vulture” investors
Mistake #3 – Selling their home through a discount broker
Mistake #4 – Trying to sell their home For Sale By Owner (FSBO)
Mistake #5 – Trying to borrow their way out of debt
