TURNING TO A NEW LENDER
Did you receive a notice, called 60-Day Notice, from your creditor? A 60-day notice is sent when you do not pay the monthly amount due to your creditor for the purchase of your house. It is the first stage which the creditor has to undertake before seizing your property. Once all the stages were crossed, your creditor can sell your house and oblige you to move somewhere else.

SEIZURE OF YOUR PROPERTY
If you do not resolve this situation, yes, your creditors will take back the keys of your property. But before panicking, the timelines are actually longer than 60 days. Generally, it can take 6 to 9 months for all legal proceedings to be completed. Nevertheless, do not delay before fixing this situation, because legal expenses can add up and represent several thousand dollars.

EXPLORING YOUR OPTIONS
Option 1 - Sale of your property
If you have accumulated an interesting equity in your property but you can no longer afford to meet your payments (mortgage, municipal tax, school tax, related charges, etc.), you could sell your property so you don’t lose everything. Beware of the offers you might receive: your 60-day notice is public and you will be contacted by aggressive buyers.
Option 2 - New mortgage
You are turning to private mortgage lenders to refinance your property. A private mortgage lender is a temporary solution to avoid losing your property. You will be able to obtain a new mortgage at a higher rate than the market (about 8-12%). The goal is to rebuild your credit and be able to refinance at a better rate in the near future. If you want to keep your property, the private mortgage could be your best option.
