Do mortgage companies refuse loans to people who work for employment agencies?
In most cases yes simply because the employment is temporary in nature and can stop at any time once you go permanent the dynamic will change.

Why am I getting served on a foreclosure when the loan is in my husband's name in Florida?
You may want to double check the document to see if you were indeed liable on the loan. You may have not been on the loan but on the deed to the property also.
How do you arrange a short sale with your lender?
Call them and ask for the loss mitigation department.
Tell them you are interested in doing a short sale. They will most likely tell you that you need to follow their specific rules and paperwork and to find a local Realtor. Selling your property won't normally be the problem. Getting the bank to respond and start working with you is the problem. You will want to get an authorization letter for whoever will be communicating with the lender on your behalf.
Quiz your potential Realtor on how many short sale they have completed (should be more than 20) and if they have worked with your bank. You are probably best served to find a negotiation company to do the work for the Realtor. These companies are on the phone all day long with the banks and tend to get the job done. There should be no charge to you, they get paid from the Realtors commission that is paid by the bank.
Can you voluntarily dissolve your mortgage with your lender?
Yes, by paying it off in full. You should review your original mortgage document to determine if there is a pre-payment penalty if you will be paying it off early.
Is it possible to purchase a different house with a foreclosure on your credit report?
It is possible, cash purchase, or substantial change in your ability to pay which would make the bank think you are a good credit risk. This could be in the amount of time since your foreclosure and maybe you have proved through repayment of another loan that things have changed since the foreclosure. Amount of time since foreclosure, repayment history, amount of credit, amount of debt are all items considered in your credit report which then gives you a score and the bank or mortgage company uses this to determine what kind of loan (rate and terms) you will get if any. All of this being said it is NOT easy especially in today's market.
How do you buy a foreclosure property?
Google your county online for foreclosure sales. Be in place time or date of sales. Research properties in advance to see which one you want to buy and have money prepared for purchase during bidding.
What happens when you can't pay your mortgage?
It reflects poorly on a bank to have real-estate in its portfolio of assets. When a borrower is performing well on their mortgage installments, the Asset in the banks portfolio is a performing mortgage. When a mortgage stops performing the first course of action is to get the mortgage reperforming.
The situation will be assessed to determine the best course of action for reperformance.
The loan may be recast so that the payment will be reduced but it will take longer to pay off.
A portion of the monthly mortgage payment might be deferred to the back of the loan balance. Ex. $1000 payment reduced to $800 (the amount owed on the loan increases by $200)
The interest rate on the mortgage may be reduced to get the note to reperform. (It's not uncommon for banks to sell their notes to other banks. Imagine that Bank of America has made a profit off of a note after a few years. The debt could be 180K, but considering the profit they've made off the note, they might sell it to another bank for 160K. So the new bank buys 180K of debt for 160K, and when they look at their books, they see that they are making 8% annual yield off the note when your interest rate on paper is 6%. so it's not unlikely that the bank is able to reduce the interest rate to get the note to reperform.)
Foreclosure proceedings. The homeowner has an equitable right of redemption. The bank needs to be sure they can repossess the house and in order to do that legally they must foreclose the homeowner's equitable right of redemption.
If foreclosure proceedings were initiated, and that is all that is claimed on the credit report, then the bank cannot change the report. If the credit report shows that the foreclosure took place, however, the bank would have to correct that. Similarly, a credit card company won't take back any delinquent payments reporting just because the card was paid off. They are legally obligated to report accurately.
How many house payments can one miss before being foreclosed?
If it is not specified in the contract then it is likely at the descretion of the lender.
How can you pay off your mortgage fast?
By making extra payments, and if your loan currently has a very high interest rater, refinance it so the interest you are being charged is less.
For example, if you have a 200,000 loan at 6.5% interest and 30 year term, paying $300 extra per month reduces the number of monthly payments by 141, or 11.75 years, and reduces the interest and total paid by $113,531.55.
Reducing your interest rate on the same loan above from 6.5 down to 4.5 reduces your total interest from 255,088 to 164,813.
Both methods are huge cost savers.
After deed in lieu what happens to the property?

Quit claim to a family member to avoid forclosure?
Quit claiming title to a family member will not avoid foreclosure because the mortgage lien on the property has not been satisfied and the lender has a claim on the property. It will not cause the foreclosure proceedings on the property to cease and the lender will seek a judgment from the civil court.
Can I surrender a home and not be in foreclosure?
Yes, it's called a Deed-In-Lieu of foreclosure. You agree to walk away from the home and deed the property back to the mortgage company. This will still have a negative impact on your credit, but not as bad as a foreclosure. Most of the time, a Deed-In-Lieu is a cheaper option for the mortgage company as well because of all of the additional attorney fees/costs associated with the foreclosure process. However, a lot of mortgage companies still have rather restrictive guidelines for accepting a Deed-In-Lieu, some of these restrictions may require the mortgage has already been delinquent for some time, and that the property has been listed for sale at fair market value for a minimum of time (usually 90 days). Because the mortgage industry is struggling, these guidelines are ever changing and often can be bypassed. Call your mortgage company to find out what their specific guidelines are for accepting a Deed-In-Lieu. If you haven't already put your home up for sale, it would be a good place to start. If you can get a reasonable offer, even if it's less than the mortgage, your mortgage company may accept a short sale, which will be better for your credit and will also save the mortgage company money.
Tax Lien priority in foreclosure?
Well it depends on what type of Tax lien we are talking about. But first rule of thumb, liens have priority based on Irs Tax liens are prioritized like most other liens, by date of recordation. Actually IRS liens can fall further down the list based on when perfected.....but all in all, IRS tax liens do not supercede other legal liens State Tax Liens can superced tax liens depending upon State laws but stilll are subordinate to all other previously filed legal liens. Property Tax liens take priority over all liens, regardless or recordation, perfection, etc. Think of it this way, when you buy property, property taxes are an inherent obligation that attaches as soon as the ink on the deed is dry. There's no attorney on earth that can record a mortgage lien that fast!
