  1. One thing I have actually noticed is there are plenty of fallacies regarding the banking companies intentions when talking about home foreclosure. One myth in particular would be the fact the bank needs to have your house. The lender wants your hard earned dollars, not the house. They want the bucks they lent you with interest. Avoiding the bank will still only draw the foreclosed final result. Thanks for your publication.
