QUESTION:

wrecked credit

Both my mortgage holder and my HUD counselor told me I had to miss one month's mortgage payment in order to qualify for a HUD Stimulus/Recovery program such as the Reverse Morgage.
I did this and, whether I qualify or not, my credit rating is wrecked. That seems unfair that to qualify for one of Obama's Stimulus programs,you have to destroy your ability to ever approach a lender again to borrow funds.
Can you explain this to me.

Thank you,
tara knott

Tara,
I sympathize with you. I hear about this type of situation every day. Are you at least 62 years of age? If so, you may qualify for a reverse mortgage, where credit and income are not factors.
Please give me a call and let's see if I can help.
