When is it smart to initiate your own mortgage foreclosure?

Carl E. Person

A person should initiate his or her own mortgage foreclosure when the person sees that they can't pay the mortgage for six months from now. Stop paying now and that is the initiation of mortgage foreclosure proceedings. And by the way, as a condition for modification, many banks require you to be in default. Don't pay up your mortgage and then think you're going to get a modification agreement. I'm Carl Pearson, I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.
