Foreclosure Prevention Basics

Understand Your Options Before It’s Too Late

If you’ve fallen behind on your mortgage or you’re worried you might soon, you’re not alone. Many homeowners face temporary setbacks due to job loss, unexpected bills, divorce, or health issues.

The good news? You have options. And the sooner you take action, the more control you’ll have.

What is Foreclosure?

Foreclosure is a legal process in which your lender takes back your home due to missed mortgage payments. This can severely damage your credit, affect future housing options, and create lasting financial stress.

Common Myths About Foreclosure

Myth: Once you miss a few payments, it’s too late.
Truth: You often have time to work out a solution, even up to the day of sale.

Myth: You’ll lose everything.
Truth: Many homeowners walk away with money in hand or avoid foreclosure entirely by taking action early.
