Mortgage Relief for Military Members Is Now a Reality says American Financial Solutions

According to Becky House, Education Director for American Financial Solutions, the changes are intended to make it easier for military members to access benefits through the program. Previously when a person needed assistance with their mortgage they had to be behind in payments. This requirement could ultimately cost a serviceperson their rank or even worse, their career...These changes are significant since service members face unique challenges when they are transferred to new locations...In a short sale, the mortgage company allows a person to sell their house for an amount less than what they owe...This means they will not be responsible for any amount still remaining on the mortgage. If someone lives in Washington State and needs help with a mortgage, they can contact a housing counselor at American Financial Solutions today. Outside of Washington, visit the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to find an approved housing counseling agency.
