I got a call this week from a guy who is going to lose his house next month. He had a 0,000 Sba loan which he defaulted on a few years back. Since then, the company has closed, and there is no collateral remaining except for his house that he pledged at the beginning of the process. He went on to tell me that he's desperate for a way to avoid foreclosure, but his attorney told him it was pretty hopeless. Except for the Sba loan, he had no other liens on the home, which meant that all the proceeds from a foreclosure would go to the Sba Lender.
Below you will find my advice to him, and answers to his major questions:
Sba Loan
1) My Advice: Sba Lenders are willing to make uncostly company decisions, therefore if you offer an estimate equivalent to the equity in your home, there is a chance the lender would call off the foreclosure sale. In this case, the guy said the home was worth 0,000, so coming up with that much cash could be problematic. I suggested that he speedily look into a cash out refinance of his home, as a lump sum payment would give him the best chance. He could also make an offer to pay over time, but that's a less lively selection for a lender. After all this guy already stopped paying back his loan once, the bank says, so what's to stop him from doing it again? bottom Line: If the lender will end up with about the same estimate of cash by production a deal with you then they would by foreclosing, they should be willing to make a deal with you.
