This is too late to help Mr. David but may be of help to others in a similar situation. Mr. David found himself in a home he could no longer afford after an auto accident and change in income. Several years ago I found myself in a home I could no longer afford after my entire industry (mainframe computers) disappeared overnight. Mr. David's story is above. My story is that we put our home on the market and moved into an apartment that we could afford. Eventually my wife and I found employment. We put the equity from the sale of our home in the stock market and have averaged about a ten-percent per year return on our investment. Houses are expensive to buy and maintain. They are not bad investments as long as life throws no curve balls at you. My advice to anyone whose circumstances have worsened to the point where they can no longer afford it is to sell. Read the complaints about mortgage lenders on the Ripoff Report and you will find that a common theme is that the homeowner suffered some sort of economic disaster that left him unable to make the payments. It hurt when we sold our home, but we had to separate our emotions from our finances and the finances said we could not afford to stay in our home.

Hi David, I'm sorry to hear about the issues you have been dealing with. I've heard quite a few stories from Ameriquest customers that were similar to yours. Its a shame... people need to realize that they are dealing with the roof over someones head and that isn't something to take lightly. I am in the mortgage business myself, and I am disgusted by these types of loan officers as much as the general public is. I have always been proud of what I do, but these jokers have given the rest of us a bad name. As far as your situation, there are options out there for you. FHA has recently come out with a program called FHA secured. Its set up for people that have adjustable rate mortgages, that are having a hard time making the payments after the interest rate resets. The rates on these programs are as good as or better than you can find anywhere out there. It's not credit score driven, so if your score is 580 or 880, its going to be about the same thing... If you need help getting out of that loan, let me know and I'll do my best to point you in the right direction. I hope things get better for you soon, and I wish you the best of luck.
