Talk To Your Lender About Saving Your Home from Foreclosure

By Doc Schmyz

When your home is on the verge of foreclosure, you certainly will do anything possible to save it. But the problem is how you will do it. The first thing, among many, is going to your lender/banker and asking for help.

Yet for others, contacting the lender at the first sign of financial problems seems to be not such a good idea. It may be because they are embarrassed to discuss money issues to others or they simply don't see the need to inform their lender right away of their present financial standing , most of the time they are thinking it is a temporary problem. But the fact is, asking for your lender's help will save you a lot of trouble and it will help you save your home.

Most people have the perception that lenders, like banks, think only of themselves and don't care about the future of the borrowers. This leads to the common notion that lenders show no mercy to homeowners who have defaulted on payments and will take the homes when the very first window of opportunity opens. The truth is lenders like owners will do everything they can to avoid home foreclosures. So again, the best way to save your home is to work with your lender to solve the problem.

Lenders will send a Notice of Default if you miss payments for 3 consecutive months. Call your lender as soon as possible. Inform them why you have defaulted on a payment and ask for an alternative payment schedule or temporary lower rates until your finances have returned to normal. You can also ask for Forbearance which is where your lender waives some of the penalty fees as a result of default or a mortgage refinance without going through the process of re-application, whichever you think is more economical. Mortgage lenders are more than willing to help you to avoid repossessing your home.

Talk to your lender, inform them of your situation, and ask for payment alternatives. DO NOT WAIT!!! Act fast. Understand the gravity of the situation and do something about it. It is your obligation to pay your mortgage but when worst comes to worst, your lender wants to help you keep your home. - 23309

Banking, Money, Taxation And Becoming Your Own Banker With The Infinite Banking Concept

By Tomas McFie

Could you live ten days without money? Try it and find out what an asset money really is. Assets have a tendency to multiply. The problem is hardly anybody treats their money as an asset.

It has been written that "The value of an asset increases exponentially while the value of your labor only increases incrementally."

The return of your money is more important than the rate of return on your money. Those that fail to grasp this concept lose the real value of money by losing the control of their money.

Consider the following:

Your paycheck. Where do you deposit it?

Your bank or a third party's bank?

Who benefits the most by this process? You or the other guy?

Do not ever think that you can multiply your wealth by dividing it up. Allowing others to have access to your money by placing it on account at their bank, gives that bank control over your money. You automatically become second in command of your money by doing this. When the bank controls your money, you do not and they make money off your money while you pay the fees, the charges and all other costs associated with banking and financial institutions.

You must read the book about the Infinite Banking Concept entitled Becoming Your Own Banker. It will allow you to control and profit from the financial equation which is:

You finance everything that you purchase in life. You either pay someone interest to use their money to make a purchase, or you give up the interest you could have made on your money when you make a purchase with your own money. Either way you lose.

But when you practice the Infinite Banking Concept, you can pay cash for your purchases and earn the interest that banks or finance companies would have otherwise earned off you. This is because you are now using your money as an asset and the growth becomes exponential when compared with what happens when you put your money in a bank owned by someone else, or with an investment firm. - 23309

Rollovers & Currency Trading

By Ahmad Hassam

Rollovers are unique to the currency markets. Rollovers are transactions where an open position from one settlement date is rolled over to the next settlement date. Rollovers represent the intersection of interest rate markets and forex markets.

Keep this in mind what you are trading is in fact the good old cash. Currency is money after all. So when you talk of money, interest rates naturally come into play. Rollover rates depend on the difference between the interest rates of the two currencies in the pair that you are trading.

When you are long on a currency, it is like having a deposit in a bank account. If you are short, its like take a loan from the bank. Just as you would expect to earn interest on a bank deposit and pay interest on a loan, you should expect an interest gain or an interest expense on holding a currency position over time.

The difference between the interest rates between the two currencies is called the interest rate differential. Think of the open currency position as one currency with the positive balance (the currency you are long) and one with negative balance (the currency you are short).

The interest rates of two different countries apply because your accounts are in two different currencies. You should look for the base or benchmark lending rates in each country. You can find the interest rates of different countries from Wall Street Journal Online, Financial Times online or that matter any good financial website.

If you hold an open position past the settlement date or value date, rollovers are usually carried out by your forex broker. The smaller the impact of the rollovers, the narrower the interest rate differential! The larger the impact from rollovers, the larger the interest rate differential!

Some online forex brokers apply the rollover rates by applying the rollover credit or debit directly to your margin balance. Other forex brokers apply the rollover rates by adjusting the average rate of your open position. Rollovers are applied to your open currency position by two offsetting trades that result in the same open position.

Rollovers are applied to open position after 5.00 PM EST change in value date. Rollovers are not applied if you dont carry a position over the change in the value date. For day traders, who usually close their positions at the end of each trading day, rollovers do not apply. Rollovers only apply to your over night open position carried over to the next day.

If you are short the currency with the higher interest rate and long the currency with the low interest rates, rollovers will cost you money. If you are long the currency with the higher interest rate and short the currency with the lower interest rate, rollover can earn you interest income. - 23309
