Our method is to avoid alienation when working with people and companies who owe our clients money and try not to alienate them. Due to the current economical crisis people who owe money are generally nervous about unfair debt collection.

Our approach is to appeal to their morals and good nature while of course pointing out the additional cost and consequences of not clearing the outstanding balance. Our negotiations for debt recovery are often effective but if not we have the option of court to find the best way to proceed.

What Is An Adjustable Rate Mortgage Or Arm

Copyright 2006 Jason P Bertrand

An adjustable rate mortgage is a mortgage loan that is fixed for a set period of time and then adjusts based on the rates during the adjustment period. Some common adjustable rate mortgage loans terms are 1/1, 3/1, 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1. The first number in what appears to be a fraction is the amount of time the rate stays fixed. The second number is the amount of time between adjustments. For example a 5/1 Adjustable rate mortgage would stay fixed for 5 years and then adjust annually.

An adjustable rate mortgage generally offers a lower rate than a fixed rate loan initially; however, it could adjust to a higher rate than the initial fixed rate mortgage would have been. An Adjustable rate mortgage, also called an ARM, is very good for a person that knows specifically how long they will be living at a specific residence. In other words, a person who knows for a fact that they will be moving in four years would benefit from a 5/1 ARM because they would be moving out of that home and mortgage prior to the first adjustment period.

Adjustable rate mortgage loans also have an adjustment cap and a lifetime cap. For example a 5/1 arm could have an adjustment cap of 2% and a lifetime cap of 6%. So in a worst case scenario, a 5/1 Arm with a 2/9 cap and an initial rate of 5% would stay fixed at 5% for five years. At the five year mark the rate could adjust a maximum of 2% to 7%, after another year it could adjust 2% to 9% and after the next year could adjust to 11%. 11% would be the lifetime cap and therefore the adjustable rate mortgage could not increase any more. If the rates go down however, the rate could adjust lower after any given year.

There is however a floor rate which is the minimum rate the loan could ever achieve. In other words if the loan started at 5% and the floor rate was 4% the interest rate would never drop below 4%.

The difference between a fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgage is the fact that a fixed rate loan may start at 6.5% instead of 5% so for the first 5 years one would be receiving an interest rate 1.5% below that of a fixed.

Your Mortgage Tagline…is It Workin For Ya Or Agin Ya

The most successful companies in the world choose words carefully when they create their advertising taglines. You can learn from their advertising strategy and experience. Treat your mortgage tagline as a critical part of your marketing campaign and choose your words very carefully.

In case you don’t know what a tagline is…it’s a short (usually one line) advertising blurb that aids in establishing credibility for you. Your mortgage tagline helps customers and prospects to feel that calling you and working with you is a “safe” choice. Your tagline can help drive business for you.

The really nice thing about taglines other than they work, is…they’re absolutely free! Once developed, they sort of tag-a-long and enhance all of your mortgage marketing material and summarize your advertising message in one short sentence.

How much more effective could your advertising be if you treated your tagline as a sales opportunity? With just a few additions and small adjustments, you could significantly improve the power of the tagline in your ads, and improve your return on your advertising investment.

Here are a few examples of some highly profitable taglines: Coke – “The Real Thing”, Pepsi – “The Choice of a New Generation,” Maxwell House Coffee – “Good to The Last Drop,” Budweiser – “The King of Beers,” All of these companies know that their tagline is a sales opportunity, and they use every word carefully to take full advantage of that opportunity.

One thing to keep in mind is that the key to creating your very own “mortgage brand” or “mortgage tagline” begins with creativity. You want people to think of you when they think of mortgages. Make sure your brand has an emotional ring to it. The right choice makes people want to do business with you and actually creates customer loyalty. The right brand tugs at their heart strings and says “buy me.”

If your business card says “Vice President” that’s great…except it really doesn’t describe exactly what you do, does it? Instead let’s use the title “Home Loan Consultant” or “Investment Specialist” instead.

Now, not only do you have a great title, but the title describes to folks exactly what you do and what you’ll be talking to them about. There’s no mistake here…you don’t work for an Automobile Dealership, or a Dry Cleaner, or whatever. You are involved in loans and mortgages.

If you’re having a problem getting started, just Google your competition and the consumer goods industry, then convert their marketing campaign and sales message into your very own mortgage business strategy. Work your chosen tagline into every single facet of your business plan and marketing program.

By simply improving the power of your tagline, you can improve the response to your marketing material, improve the return on your advertising investment, and improve your mortgage business. Go for it!

World Wide Recession Caused By The Mortgage Melt-down.

Real Estate & Mortgage 6 – Foreclosure Meltdown Fraud and Scams Dec08 – Recession & Inflation

Part 6 (Excerpt)

World wide recession caused by the mortgage melt-down. Is inflation far behind?

What their ratings were based on was simply that nobody thought real estate would go down again. They were just going to keep going up forever, doesn’t really matter if you call it AAA or BBB. Isn’t going to matter if the note never get’s called.

We certainly saw that for years in the mortgage industry. We would refinances somebody and a couple of years later they would call us up again and say hey my house went up $100,000 in value and I bought a car and a boat and my kids need to go to school and give me another hundred grand out of my property, and it just kept going up forever and ever and ever and as long as that was happening everything was just fine. But then as we know everything just stopped.

There’s only so much leverage that could exist out there and that is why the stop started if you will. Because as that leverage continued to balloon; how much more leverage can a Wall Street firm or a bank take on to buy up more mortgage backed securities? Oh I know we’ll carve out these tranches and we’ll sell them off overseas. So that is where it ballooned, how wide reaching and impactful has it been?

Well we see it now it’s a global recession. It’s not a US recession for that reason. And that is starting to clean itself up, not only by the Fed aggressively here at home, by working with other developed nations around the world with their equivalents of the Fed in those countries they are doing the same thing. They are acting aggressively and that’s great for the short-term but that is like putting a band-aid on a carotid artery that has been severed, it doesn’t work. That is okay for today and tomorrow, long term there are bigger issues, bigger issues translate into inflation. Where I am going with this is the fact that right now with money being cheaper than it has been at any other time in the history of the United States.

That’s your motivation, if you’re looking for a loan, if you are looking to refinance a loan, if you’re looking for a loan modification, whatever your circumstances are, this is your opportunity. I am of the opinion that five years from now we’ll look back on this time period and say, my gosh look at all the mistakes the Fed made.

One of the things I want to go back to is something you said earlier about how all these mortgage derivatives were broken up and put back together. And most of them certainly many of them got bought by hedge funds. A lot of them got bought up by foreign governments and whatever around the world. One of the things about where that’s coming in is it’s causing a massive structural problem, especially in the mortgage industry when it comes to the servicing aspect and a loan modification aspect.

These hedge funds are now coming along, and they are suing the servicers because the servicers are doing what they had a right to do under the contract that they signed with the hedge fund in the first place which was to modify these loans. While the hedge funds are saying if you’re going to modify the loan we want all the money and the servicers or the bank or whatever is saying, no we’re not going to so now they are getting into a big fight and I have a feeling we’re going to see a lot of lawsuits, which is only going to hurt the American homeowner, because unfortunately it’s only going to delay a loan modification process.

But it’s also one more reason why you want to have an attorney on your side negotiating with the servicers, negotiating with the bank, maybe even negotiating with the hedge fund for all we know. But negotiating with somebody on your behalf, somebody with the legal power, negotiating for you so if they need to go after the bank for lack of standing, because maybe that’s what it takes to get their attention, go after them and prove they have a lack of standing and say, oh great now that I have your attention let’s do something to help the home owner.

Well, I want to point something out here because Brett, Dan, and I have talked about this many, many times, every single case that we have that is a loan modification case through Velocity Financial and through the debt alliance law firms that we use. Every one of these cases where the people tried to do this on their own, eventually they gave up, they were told No. One case that we were successful in a loan modification was a case where they were told No three separate times by his servicer. Three times, they told him No. I have this case documented, I know this person well. He was told No three separate times and we sicked the law firm on them and we got that loan modification that has actually relieved him of about $30,000 in interim monies…
