Initial Client Guide: Loan Modifications and Loan Workout Agreements 

As our client for loan modification and loan workouts, we require certain due diligence documents so we can do our job to help you achieve your goals.  Below this summary is a DOCUMENT CHECKLIST of items we need as well as  MANDATORY BORROWER INFO WORKSHEET that help us organize your case and prepare for underwriting the loan modification or workout documentation.  You will also find a link to submit these documents securely through our website.  

Initial Client Guide: General Insolvency and Bankruptcy Clients

The documentation we collect for general insolvency and bankruptcy is similar to loan modification and workout agreements, and quite frequently, our clients request our services for both to enable them to obtain a fresh start.  Bankruptcy creates something called an automatic stay in most scenarios that enables us time within the bankruptcy case to work on the loan modification and loan workout.
