New Ebook Helps Do-It-Yourselfers Modify their Home Mortgages

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 7, 2009 -- Homeowners looking to save money by modifying their home mortgage will often turn to a lawyer or a mortgage modification company to deal with their situation, but not all homeowners have been satisfied with these results. In his new book, Mortgage Modifications Made Easy, veteran real estate broker and author Bob Boog (Selling Homes 1-2-3 and Real Estate Sales from Hell) offers an instructional self-help guide for homeowners interested in doing it themselves.

Boog claims that he wrote the book because a gap of knowledge existed in this subject area. "I'd referred a client to a mortgage modification company and she called to tell me that the modification fee charged by the lawyer would be added to her existing loan balance and then capitalized over a 40 year term, along with the rest of her late payments. Because the lmodification fee was for several thousand dollars, she wanted to do it herself but didn't know how. So when she asked me if I would help modify her loan, I did. Now when people ask me to modify their loan I refer them to my website. Because modifying a loan is not like rocket science. It's usually a tedious, time-consuming challenge involving making telephone calls that most people can do by themselves quickly and easily once they understand how the process works." Boog claims that if an owner is unhappy with the lender's response or has questions about the terms of the modification, the owner should then contact a lawyer or mortgage modification specialist.

Along with a 52 page instructional guide that offers time-saving tips and money-saving suggestions, readers can download all the necessary forms and checklists as well as a Resource Guide that outlines various mortgage modification options, guidelines, scams and cautionary tales. The cost is a modest $29.95 which is about ten times less than what most loan modification companies charge.

Boog's website http://www.short-sales1-2-3.com carries other loss mitigation products including two books on short sales (one in English and one in Spanish co-written with his wife, Roxana). The website also offers greeting cards for sale. "People might laugh about sending a note of appreciation to a banker, but it's a time-tested technique that does work," he said.
