Claims are at record highs which of course makes paying monthly bills impossible for many. Susie steimle spoke to Industry Experts about what you need to know if you cannot make your mortgage payment. More than 1 million californians have already filed for unemployment. That massive loss of income has many wondering how to pay bills that are due next week. Attorney Daniel Borenstein is watching that trickle up to homeowners. What about those honors were dependent upon rent in order to cover their mortgage . In order to cover their property tax payments, utility bills and what have you . He represents small landlords in San Francisco. Many are not expecting to receive rent payments which means they, in turn, might have to default on their mortgages. Some of the penalties that arise when youre late on paying a mortgage mortgage or property taxes i would like to see that proactively waved across the board so there is a more shared understanding of the risk involved. There is a lot of help being offered to homeowners. The stimulus package adds to it. It protects your credit. You can do for one payment and request contract modifications for the next 120 days. There is a grace period of mortgages for up to 180 days on federally backed mortgages. Foreclosures and evictions have been stayed for 60 days. Renters if your landlord is not paying their mortgage, you cannot be evicted, charge late fees or asked to vacate for 30 days. For the next 120 days, your landlord can also not take legal action against you for nonpayment of rent. But in most cases, this relief only allies if you can prove your Financial Impact is a direct result of covid19. He says your lender is where you need to start. Most questions can be answered online. If you can prove your finances have changed because of the virus, you will likely qualify but you will also have to be patient. There will be a pretty significant weight. The same is true for property taxes which are still due on april 10th. You can apply for hardship exempting but determining who qualifies for the relief will likely take up to six weeks. The biggest impact has just been confusion. Keith robinson is the strategy or, hes been talking with the lockdown means for californias real estate market. He says there is a small Silver Lining for people looking to buy. They will be buyers who will be somewhat locked out of the market due to competition that could find something for themselves if they felt comfortable taking action, they could have an opportunity in the coming weeks and months. Smith californias protects it from the volatility of the market but things will likely cool off to some degree. Theres been a decrease in demand for the last week. People were looking 10 days ago that are not looking today. There are sellers who are planning on selling physical that are not selling today. As for those who are struggling to pay, george says theres a Silver Lining there, too. The crisis has forced the industry to get creative. The consumer is going to have a lot of options on how they are going to repay those payments that they didnt pay. It goes from i am back at work, i can pay the payment all the way to adding that payment to the end of their mortgage. Theres a lot of options for them to be able to come up with that payment. As always, documentation is crucial. Before you miss a payment you should reach out to your lender first with proof as to why you cannot pay, and also document that you did reach out to your lender to say that you cannot pay. There are a lot of options to help homeowners in this situation and having that documentation will make it so much more likely that any late fee would be waived. Susie steimle, kpix 5.
