Thanks!

In regards to the Smart Homeownership Program (which is new to me) some people in the above comments are unable to believe that nobody has qualified for this loan yet. I personally am happy about this. I dont know how to say this without sounding so harsh, but I am tired of all the people wanting the handouts – and getting them! Thanks Roger for the interesting facts – where did you get them (website?)? I would like to keep my eye on this one:)

This is all very sound advice Jillayne. I always encourage my clients in distress to remain engaged with their mortgagee, and to obtain legal counsel if necessary. The denial thing is spot on, it’s very common, and sometimes people need to be awakened to the reality that they’re making a bad situation worse by ignoring or procrastinating.
