On Foreclosure
A San Jose bankruptcy lawyer talks about loan mods and foreclosure...
Many consumers are confused as to why they are constantly hearing about loan modifications and the Administrations plan to aid home owners, but when they actually try to obtain a loan modification are just given the runaround. A big problem with the process is lender incentive to actually provide debtors with loan modifications. According a report by Real Capital Analytics, lenders are recovering between 60 and 70% of the loan values on foreclosed properties. In some state the recovery rate is as high as 78%. In California, the recovery rate is especially high: San Francisco has the third highest recovery amount at 70%, and Los Angeles is at 70% plus.
The best recovery rates are on commercial mortgages for retail properties. In 2009, lenders recovered $1.9 billion on 145 commercial mortgages that were in default. Higher recovery rates in California may make lenders less likely to negotiate with consumers in California compared to consumer in places such as Michigan and Florida which have recovery rates as low as 45%.
