		<description><![CDATA["Try not to become a man of Success, but rather a man of value."  ~Albert Einstein~  Do you think there is anyone in this wonderful country who has never heard of "The American Dream"?   I doubt it!!  I believe home ownership is still a dream that most Americans share.  We strongly desire it and most are even still willing to work for their home.  In recent years however, many people have watched their dream vanish before their eyes for one reason or another and many are left asking...Is the American Dream Gone for Good?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Try not to become a man of Success, but rather a man of value.&#8221;  ~Albert Einstein~  Do you think there is anyone in this wonderful country who has never heard of &#8220;The American Dream&#8221;?   I doubt it!!  I believe home ownership is still a dream that most Americans share.  We strongly desire it and most are even still willing to work for their home.  In recent years however, many people have watched their dream vanish before their eyes for one reason or another and many are left asking&#8230;Is the American Dream Gone for Good?</p>
<p>So what of that question about the American Dream being gone?  The answer is &#8211; Absolutely not! Are things pretty tough in America right now?  Of course it is!  It is no secret that many Americans are losing their homes rapidly for a variety of reasons.  Should we then just give up and toss in the towel on our dream?  Giving up is most certainly NOT the American way.  Let us never forget that we Americans are at our best during times of difficulty and great challenges.</p>
<p>As a Real Estate Investor, I see people everyday who are struggling and in need of some assistance.  Can I solve all the worlds problems and prevent everyone from losing their homes?  No!  But what I can do is try and help those families in a number of different ways with their housing needs.  Whether it is to negotiate a Short Sale with their mortgage company, assist with a loan modification, or help find them more affordable housing &#8211; I can help.</p>
<p>My point?  That where there is adversity, there is also opportunity.  Many people today are seeing an opportunity to  become &#8220;Successful&#8221; at House Flipping in order to make a lot of quick money.  Does that opportunity exist today?  Yes it does, but I want to urge everyone to think about the above quote by Albert Einstein before they think of the money.</p>
<p>It is far better to be a person of value by adding value to other peoples lives.  By living in service to others, we elevate our own value.  In this way, we need not seek out &#8220;Success&#8221;, for it will find us on its own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SSCRA or the Soldier and Sailor Civil Relief Act were signed by President Bush on December 2003. The main point for this act was to set new legislation to simplify or ease both legal and economic burdens to military personnel whether active or retired.</p>
<p>What is the SSCRA</p>
<p>SSCRA addresses the inability of military men to meet financial obligations when they are in active duty. Financial obligations to include rentals, leases, mortgages, credit card payments and other similar transactions. The SSCRA also stretches to cover the dependents of the military men in question.</p>
<p>SSCRA covers those under active duty, to include out on basic training exercises or assigned in the field. Often veterans miss the chance to pay their financial obligations since they are unable to do so during the line of duty. The SSCRA aims to provide legislation to these individuals so that they are given consideration regarding deadlines and payment due dates.</p>
<p>One focus of the SSCRA for military personnel/dependents includes leasing/renting of a property for residential purpose. (but can not exceed more than $1,200 a month) Also the conditions must be met and the transaction must be first made before the service man is enlisted into active duty or departs for basic training.</p>
<p>Once on active duty, it&#8217;s becomes almost impossible for them to settle this obligation. The next course of action is for the service man to send a request of being under the protection of the SSCRA to the court when he or she receives an eviction notice. If the judge finds sufficient grounds which merits the protection from SSCRA then the court may postpone the eviction until the term of duty of the personnel expires.</p>
<p>Advantage of SSCRA for veterans on active duty</p>
<p>Often military personnel on active duty will not have the ability to fulfill their financial obligations to various institutions like credit cards, banks, insurance or mortgage lenders. The SSCRA was developed to provide a form of security to these men on duty on active duty.</p>
<p>SSCRA will provide enough &#8220;elbow room&#8221; for military personnel to be given extended deadlines for payments, foreclosures and mortgage transactions when they are in the line of duty. However, not all veterans are qualified for the protection of the SSCRA; some criteria and requirements must be met for both the transaction and the personnel before they are granted protection.</p>
<p>Interest Rates and SSCRA</p>
<p>Members on active duty who are unable to pay mortgages and who are facing foreclosure may then invoke the protection of the SSCRA to avoid such problems. Qualified debts are those incurred prior to service men coming into the line of duty. Also, the request will only be valid if the personnel are in the line of duty when the request was made which limited them from settling the said obligation.</p>
<p>If qualified, the service member needs to send a letter to the lender/bank requesting that their interest rate be capped to 6% according to the provision stated in SSCRA. Also, they may should send a photocopy of the military order to the lender as proof that they are on military duty as stated in their letter of request. the process can take up to 3 months to complete.</p>
<p>Foreclosure and the SSCRA</p>
<p>The SSCRA also helps cover the military personnel under the obligation of a mortgage, trust deed or security of property for any financial obligation. The SSCRA simply states that the personnel are valid for protection under the SSCRA if the obligation and the property were done prior to their military service.</p>
<p>The provision states that prohibition of foreclosure or sale of mortgage property without the presence of the borrower, the military personnel in this case, whether in a judicial or a non-judicial foreclosure. It is also stated in the SSCRA that maturity dates and deadlines will be given an extension when the military personnel is in active duty until they are released from their given designation.</p>
<p>Even if the maturity date or the date of foreclosure is extended due to the military personnel&#8217;s inability to pay, the court will try to achieve a compromise agreement from both parties requiring the mortgage lender to pay at least half of the amount due while the mortgage holder extends the deadline or put a stay on the foreclosure or sale of the property.</p>

<p>Make a few phone calls. Don&#8217;t worry about being good on the telephone. It doesn&#8217;t matter, what matters is getting the information you need. Don&#8217;t be fooled, there are some scams out there. There are companies making promises to do all sorts of things. They will often tell you they need to receive a fee. A fee! Even if they have not done anything!</p>
<p>If it is assumed you qualify for this adjustment, you will be sent some information. You will need to list your expenditures for the month. You must show that you are in economic distress. You will have to prove this adjustment will make you a good prospect for them.</p>
<p>Needless to say, it is very important to shop around. Talk, talk, talk! Ask many questions. Get all your information in writing. Do not settle for the many words which will be thrown at you. Keep a notebook, write down your questions and their answers! No question is too stupid!</p>
<p>There are resources you can find in your local library, if you choose to do this on your own. Yes, it can get quite frustrating. Stand your ground. Have faith in yourself. Ask the librarian(s) for help. The Inter Library Loan system is a great asset to use.</p>
<p>In these hard economic times everyone is going through serious challenges and difficulties. The very best and even first call that you should make is actually to a qualified loan modification attorney to help you.</p>

The SSCRA simply states that the personnel are valid for protection under the SSCRA if the obligation and the property were done prior to their military service.</p>
<p>The provision states that prohibition of foreclosure or sale of mortgage property without the presence of the borrower, the military personnel in this case, whether in a judicial or a non-judicial foreclosure. It is also stated in the SSCRA that maturity dates and deadlines will be given an extension when the military personnel is in active duty until they are released from their given designation.</p>
<p>Even if the maturity date or the date of foreclosure is extended due to the military personnel&#8217;s inability to pay, the court will try to achieve a compromise agreement from both parties requiring the mortgage lender to pay at least half of the amount due while the mortgage holder extends the deadline or put a stay on the foreclosure or sale of the property.</p>
