It is a very tedious process, getting the modification plan from the president's office, and then the process of approval is a really long one, taking really ages to be completed.

There are talks and rumors that the people in the government have been working to improve on this plan, to make it absolutely new so that all these problems do not occur. What should a person do if he is facing foreclosure? How can he stop foreclosure?

Thankfully, there a few other ways by which this can be besides this above mentioned way. Without knowledge of these ways, stopping or preventing a foreclosure is next to impossible.

Buyers have time to build income and repair their credit history as they rent the house.
Depending on the agreement, renters can walk away if they find something seriously wrong with the house. Although the renter will lose the option fee and all of their rent credit money.

Buyers still have to pay the upfront option fee. It's usually a percentage of the agreed-upon selling price of the home and is often thousands of dollars. Although this money will go to the down payment should the renter decide to buy the house.

If the buyer is just one day late on a month's rent payment, most agreements void the rent credit for that month. If the renter were late just three times each year, at the end of the lease period the renter would have $3,600 less for the down payment.

All of those repairs that used to be somebody else's problem in a rented apartment often become the responsibility of the new buyer, even during the rental period. Whether it means climbing on a ladder to unclog the gutters or having to pay for a new washing machine when the original washer breaks, the renter has to take care of it.
