At NOFA (National Overages Finders Alliance), we’re committed to helping homeowners stay in their homes and regain financial stability. Foreclosure is a daunting prospect, but it doesn’t have to mean the end of homeownership. With the right financial strategies, homeowners can overcome this challenge, protect their credit, and move toward a brighter future.
One of the most effective approaches we use combines renovation loans and acquisition (hard money) loans. Here’s how these solutions can make a difference.
The Problem: Foreclosure Threatens More Than Your Home
When you face foreclosure, the impact goes far beyond losing your house. It takes a heavy toll on your credit, making it harder to secure loans, rent property, or rebuild financially.
To avoid foreclosure, you need solutions that:
Provide immediate financial relief.
Protect your credit from further damage.
Give you time to recover and stabilize.
The Solution: Renovation Loans
What is a renovation loan?A renovation loan is a short-term, high-interest loan designed to provide homeowners with the funds they need to address pressing financial issues—like catching up on mortgage payments or resolving debts tied to foreclosure.
How does it work?
Homeowners typically take out a renovation loan at 11–13% interest, with a term of 12–18 months.
During this period, they can:
Repair their credit score.
Address maintenance issues or repairs that enhance their property value.
Stabilize their finances enough to refinance into a traditional mortgage.
Why does it help?This solution buys time. It prevents the immediate threat of foreclosure, allows the homeowner to make necessary financial adjustments, and creates a pathway to long-term financial health.
The Backup Plan: Acquisition (Hard Money) Loans
What is an acquisition loan?When renovation loans aren’t an option, we often turn to acquisition loans, also known as hard money loans. These loans provide short-term liquidity for homeowners in more severe financial distress.
How does it work?
Acquisition loans are high-interest and short-term but offer flexible terms and don’t directly impact credit scores.
They’re secured by the value of the property, making them a viable solution for homeowners who need immediate financial relief.
Why does it work?Acquisition loans help homeowners retain ownership of their property, avoid foreclosure, and position themselves to recover financially.
