If you find yourself facing financial difficulties, as a result of job

through early intervention, call your mortgage professional at the first
sign of financial difficulty ask the mortgage professional about information on the options available for managing your financial situation and keep the mortgage professional informed as circumstances evolve.

situation, before meeting with them, prepare a detailed list of financial obligations including any credit cards, loans, household bills with the amounts owing and their due dates. Be sure to include information about your current income, savings accounts, investments, and any other assets.
