When the Obama administration rolled out the Home Affordable
Modification Program (HAMP) in 2009, officials estimated 3 to 4 million
borrowers would seek relief from their mortgages through the program amidst the
worst recession and housing market collapse in decades.More than two years later, those projections have proven to be
optimistic, to say the least. According to the Treasury Department, about
700,000 homeowners had sought aid from HAMP through the third quarter of
2011.
That’s a long way from 3
million-plus. |

Feel like cheating?Forget what the inside of your home looks like for just a bit and focus on your home’s exterior. “The
exterior of your home makes a lasting and daily impression on your
friends and family, along with your neighbors,” says Mark Clement,
professional contractor and host ofMyFixItUpLifehome

Unsuspecting home buyers, thinking they’ve nabbed a deal from the bank, could later feel like they need to rob a bank to pay for prohibitive mold removal costs that surface months after they’ve closed the deal. “There could be mold growing behind walls and underneath floors, but you can’t always see, smell or touch it,” says Jeff Dudan, CEO and founder of AdvantaClean, a national mold remediation franchise company with a locally owned franchise serving your area. |
