What to do first

  1. Review your notices and mark every deadline date.
  2. Contact a HUD counselor and lender in Lansing before making promises to buyers.
  3. Create a three-option plan: loan workout, modification, and cash settlement.

Avoid

  1. Ignore first notices and hope deadlines change.
  2. Sign documents before you understand the long-term legal effects.
  3. Accept the first offer without validating close date and exit costs.
