Instructions

1. Consider Loan Modification or Credit Counseling

   Neither of these are considered a true refinance of your loan, but both can help to stop the harassing collections calls, and help to get a judge ruling in your favor at your foreclosure hearing. Loan modification can roll your past due amounts and fees into the loan, change the structure of it, and work out a new monthly payment so that you are caught up.

   Credit counseling will negotiate your debts and pay your bills for you while you give them just one payment a month. It makes it easier to get caught up on more than just your mortgage payments. Because you are trying to find a way to pay your mortgage, the judge will see this attempt and will most likely rule in your favor at the hearing.

2. Determine Need

   If neither of those options are right for you and you would rather refinance while your house is in foreclosure, then the next step is to determine how much you need to cover your loan, your past due amounts, and any fees or penalties associated with being behind in your loan payments.

3. Find a Lender

   Finding a lender to help you while you're in foreclosure may be more difficult but it's not impossible. Try searching online, or looking for lenders that specialize in high risk loans. Remember to work quickly, as your refinance should be completed well before the Notice of Sale sell date when the house is scheduled to be auctioned off.

   After the sell date you can no longer refinance your house in foreclosure. At that point you have lost it for good.

4. It can be a hard road, but if you take the time and work hard toward refinancing your house while in foreclosure then it may just be possible to keep your home and make it easier for you to make your monthly home loan payments when all is said and done.
