When Life Happens, and the Bills Don’t Stop Coming
You never planned to fall behind on your mortgage.
Maybe it started with a job loss, a medical emergency, or rising expenses that made it hard to catch up. At first, you thought you’d be able to get back on track — but one missed payment turned into two, then three. Now, the letters from the bank are piling up, and the fear of losing your home feels all too real.
If this sounds familiar, take a breath — you’re not alone. Many Toledo homeowners face this same situation every year, and there are ways out before foreclosure becomes final.
At Howell Properties LLC, we help local homeowners find fast, fair, and stress-free solutions — including selling their homes for cash to stop foreclosure in its tracks.
Understanding Your Options When You’re Behind on Payments
When you’re behind on your mortgage, you typically have three main options. Below is a quick breakdown to help you decide what might work best for your situation.
| Option | What It Means | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loan Modification | You work with your lender to change the loan terms (lower payment or longer term). | Keeps you in your home; may make payments more manageable. | Approval isn’t guaranteed; paperwork is long; may hurt credit temporarily. |
| Foreclosure | The bank takes legal action to repossess your home due to missed payments. | None — except time to relocate. | Severe credit damage (7+ years); public record; loss of equity; emotional stress. |
| Sell for Cash (Howell Properties LLC) | Sell your home as-is before foreclosure to a local cash buyer. | Stops foreclosure; protects credit; fast closing (as soon as 7 days); no fees or repairs. | You’ll need to relocate, but you keep control and avoid bank repossession. |
Every situation is different, but selling for cash is often the fastest and most reliable way to avoid foreclosure while protecting your financial future.
Why Selling Your Home May Be the Smartest Move
If you know you can’t keep up with payments, selling your home before foreclosure can:
- Stop the foreclosure process immediately
- Protect your credit score from long-term damage
- Allow you to walk away with equity instead of losing everything
- Give you control over your next move — not the bank
- Provide peace of mind knowing the problem is resolved
Unlike traditional real estate listings, selling directly to Howell Properties LLC means:
✅ No repairs or cleaning needed
✅ No real estate commissions or closing costs
✅ No waiting months for buyers
✅ Cash offer in as little as 24 hours
You can move forward quickly — without uncertainty or judgment.
What Happens If You Do Nothing?
Unfortunately, time isn’t on your side when you’re behind on payments. Here’s what typically happens if no action is taken:
- After 30 days: You’ll receive a late notice from your lender and a late fee.
- After 90 days: Your loan is officially in default, and the bank may start foreclosure proceedings.
- After 120+ days: Your home could be scheduled for auction, and you’ll lose ownership and any remaining equity.
That’s why acting early — even just reaching out for advice — can make all the difference.
