Many cities and areas have been deeply affected by left out and vacant foreclosed homes. These have been unsold in the market for a long time and hence the foreclosure crisis enhances thereby affecting major cities. A foreclosed home that has remained vacant and abandoned for a long time is the primary target for criminal activities and vandalism. These affect the safety and security of the families staying in the locality. The value of such property declines and causes a danger to the health of public also. When such negative effects increase people in many cities have started taking an initiative to get rid of such vacant foreclosed properties in the locality.
In California, Chula Vista a program named Abandoned Residential Property Program had been initiated. Real estate agents and lenders are directed to inspect houses foreclosed by them to check whether they are vacant or not. Incase of a vacant repossessed home is found a fee of $70 needs to be paid for the registration. Once a week the agents are required to visit and inspect such foreclosed properties.
Stockton has also followed the same procedure by starting a vacant property policy where the same terms are undertaken. Lenders are asked to provide maintenance on foreclosure houses and to take up the responsibility for the security of such areas. However, in Stockton lenders and agents do not require to register themselves. Lenders are asked to provide contact address and information.
Ohio city of Cleveland also has started the same program. This city arranges staff for inspections to check status of foreclosed properties. Ohio has professionals who can determine the condition of vacant houses nicely. However even if the city is an expert in checking the declination of distressed foreclosed properties yet, the problem of foreclosure in Cleveland is high.
Detroit in Michigan has decided to invest $14 millions in federal funds to destroy such vacant and abandoned foreclosed properties. This is a part of the neighborhood stabilization program by the federal government.

These are the few things needed for a foreclosure:
- Mortgage Statement
- Bank Statements
- Pay stubs for 1 month
- Homeowners Insurance
- Last 2 years W-2’s
- Hardship Letter
- Plan of action
Step1 Paperwork is very necessary in undergoing a process of loan modification. The mortgage company has to be contacted first or the Mortgage Modification Department or the Loss Mitigation Department.
These departments are the one that’s going to assist you in the whole procedure. One has to inform them on phone to the loss mitigation officer that he is unable to pay the dues or cannot afford to make the payments. I
nform him that u want to have a reduction in the rate of interest or extension of the term of loan, reduction of principal balance. You can also ask for a reduction if the value of the mortgage amount at a rate lower than the current market rate. They will inform you to send a package of documents that you need to study carefully.
Step2 On receiving the package one has to make sure that he include all necessary documents. Keep in mind to attach the Hardship letter also along with the documents. One has to take care while writing down this letter.
In a plain paper one must wrote the reasons for his financial difficulties and why you are unable to pay the payment for mortgage in time. Reasons can be anything from a job loss, medical reasons etc. A broken marriage can also be a reason for a foreclosure.
Step3 Al the information must be send back to the bank. The bank will in turn ask a loss mitigation staff to look into the case. This is time consuming and in the meanwhile you should also try to clear your payment. But to make a payment you should be sure for 100% that your house is not going for a foreclosure. The main reason behind this is that during the stressful situation of financial crisis one should not make payments

The recent doom and gloom in the property market has led to many property investors and property owners being left in negative equity which has ultimately led to more and more mortgage defaults. The mortgage industry has suffered the biggest declines in the lending market and it may be a while before the residential and commercial mortgage lenders have healthy balance sheets to enable them to lend more money.
Gone are the days when a large number of lenders were happily accepting bad credit mortgage applications. The situation has totally reversed and the lending has significantly dried up for even good credit residential and commercial mortgage borrowers. This has left genuine borrowers struggling to get mortgage financing on the property ladder and the whole property market has come to a standstill.
So what does all this mean for the future of property and mortgages? Well one thing is for sure, the increased regulation being introduced by governments around the world will mean that it is unlikely that irresponsible lending will ever come back. That suggests that the credit lines will be more limited than they were a couple of years ago and more responsible lending will underpin the future growth of the mortgage and property market.
There will inevitably be more suffering to come for property owners in terms of repossessions as unemployment increases, but on the longer term view over the next 5+ years, a more solid recovery will emerge once the balance sheets of the banks improve to open up more lending. That will mean a return to “proper” investing and growth for future prosperity.
