Want a loan modification? Get your paperwork ready.

"Attention delinquent borrowers: If you want to get into the Obama administration's mortgage modification program, you'd better have your paperwork ready.

After foreclosure: How long until you can buy again?

"Walking away from a mortgage you can still afford to pay has consequences; everyone knows that. Your credit score is shot and it can be impossible to get credit.

Some homeowners, no doubt, believe that the credit score hit is worth getting out from a deeply underwater mortgage. They may owe, say, $500,000 when their house value is only valued at $350,000. And, they figure, there's no way it will ever be worth what they owe so it's better to get out from underneath the burden."

Phoenix home-loan modification delayed for many

"The federal government's 15-month-old home-loan modification program has not been the foreclosure rescue plan many Phoenix-area homeowners expected.

Dropouts rise in gov't loan modification program

"The number of homeowners dropping out of the Obama administration's main mortgage assistance plan is growing, and is now almost equal to the number who have received permanent relief.

As of last month, more than 299,000 homeowners had received permanent loan modifications, the Treasury Department said Monday. That's about 25 percent of the 1.2 million who started the program since its March 2009 launch. That means they will be paying, on average, $516 less each month."
