Loan Modification Tukwila, Burien, SeaTac, Washington

Facing an escalating number of foreclosures, Tukwila, Burien, and SeaTac, Washington homeowners are eagerly looking to save their homes with the help of a modified home loan. A home loan modification allows you to lower your monthly payments, lower your interest, lower your principal, adjust the term of the loan, or any combination of these. Your home is the greatest financial commitment you are going to make in your life, and acquiring secure and successful mortgage mitigation.

Most Tukwila, Burien, and SeaTac,, Washington homeowners now qualify for hundreds of dollars in monthly savings with a loan modification under the Obama administration's "Making Home Affordable" plan. Thanks to the HAMP program, a homeowner's mortgage payment cannot exceed 31% of their gross income, and because most home loans exceed 31%, the majority of borrowers are eligible for assistance.

Homeowners can immediately determine what your current mortgage debt-to-income is and how much your monthly payment may be reduced if you qualify for Obama's Loan Modification Program.

Loan Modification:

• Lowers the homeowner's monthly payments;
• Lowers the loan's interest rate;
• Swaps a rising adjustable rate for an affordable fixed rate;
• Reduces the principle balance of the property;
• Corrects payment delinquencies and defaults;
• Adjusts the length of the loan terms
• Or any combination of the above!

Eligible Tukwila, Burien, and SeaTac, WA borrowers suffering through financial hardships like credit card debts, loss in income, unemployment, a bad mortgage, or other financial circumstances, can get approved for a 4% mortgage refinancing and modification plan under President Obama's "Making Home Affordable" plan.

Homeowners can explore the free services and programs now available to you, and discover which of Obama's Loan Modification Programs you qualify for. A loan modify can establish lowered interest rates that can prevent you from being foreclosed on, help those in the foreclosure process, and prevent mortgage defaults by saving hundreds of dollars per month on your home loan payments.

Tukwila, Burien, and SeaTac, Washington homeowners will be able to save thousands by getting a home loan modification or mortgage refinance using President Obama's "Making Home Affordable" plan. Even borrowers who have been denied a refinancing or modification in the past have been having success with Obama's mortgage refinance bailout plan.

Washington homeowners who are now facing foreclosure, or about to be, should immediately begin exploring all the options available to them, including new government programs designed to help you get a successful loan modification and save your home.

Finally, some beautiful weather here in Seattle. We've had the most spectacular weather for at least the past week. It's been well worth the wait. My husband and I decided to go for a walk at Highline Botanical Gardens, since we've never been there before. We were very pleasantly surprised by the beautiful garden that awaited us. Apparently it's a work in progress, but there are 3 acres of gardens there now, including a rose garden complete with tall Roman-style pillars, a garden that's dedicated to Elda Behm called Paradise Garden, and a Japanese Garden.

Here are some pictures that I took of the garden; they don't quite do it justice. By the way, the garden is right next to the Seatac Community Center on S. 137th St and 24th Ave. S. in Seatac.

A: Three or four, if you time it right!

The Saturday before Easter was a whirlwind for my 6 year-old son and I. We left the house at about 8:30 in order to be at the first Easter Egg Hunt, held at Sea-Tac's Angle Lake Park, at 9:00 a.m. Despite arriving early, there was no parking so we had to park at the neighboring Alaska Airlines corporate parking lot and risk getting towed. With all the people parking there, though, they would have had to call every surrounding city in order to get enough tow trucks! Besides, these hunts begin and end quickly, and we were out of there by 9:20.

If you've never been to Angle Lake, it's a lovely park with a covered BBQ area, play equipment, and sandy beach area with a dock for the fishermen. It was very picturesque that morning, with the sun's rays reflecting off of the lake and a lone fisherman in a rowboat enjoying the quiet before the onslaught of children.

This hunt was very well organized. There were different sections of the park cordoned off for different age groups. There were also dozens of prize Easter baskets under the BBQ shelter, for kids who found a special plastic egg.

Firemen were out spreading candy like grass seed across the lawn as the excitement was building. Kids were running up to the Easter Bunny to have their picture taken. The Easter Bunny was handing out huge decorated sugar cookies(600 calories and 26 grams of fat per cookie, BTW!) to each kid.

Then the countdown began, the yellow tape was lowered so that the kids wouldn't trip, and then the kids were given the signal to go for it!! In one big burst hundreds of kids ran out to get as much candy as they could; or in my son's case, to pick through the candy to get as much banana Laffy Taffy as he could.

The only problem? Even though this was a hunt for kids aged 4 - 6, unfortunately the organizers did not tell the parents to stay back, so...along with the swarm of kids came the swarm of 'helpful'(read: extremely annoying) parents telling their kids what to pick up. Big, overbearing parents getting in the way of little ones trying to pick up candy. I guess that's to be expected when giant Easter baskets are at stake.

I mean, I told my son to go for the plastic eggs, but how he goes about his hunt is his choice, and with every hunt he adjusts his strategy. It's all part of learning how to problem solve. Despite all of that, though, it was lots of fun.

After Angle Lake we headed over to our church Egg Hunt at Grace Baptist on 28th in North Shorewood; that was a blast, and how sweet of them to offer free Latte's to the parents! Yeah.

Once we finished that hunt, as we headed home to Burien, I remembered that the Burien Community Center Egg Hunt was starting in 3 minutes; we pulled into the parking lot, ran out of the car, and got to the area right as the organizers were announcing the rules. (Rule #1 - NO PARENTS ON THE FIELD!) Hallelujah.

That hunt started prematurely when, in a Bugs-Bunnyesque twist someone misunderstood the organizer, who was saying, "Now when I say, GO...and off the kids went, stampeding their way to get the candy before all the candy was put out. As they were hunting, volunteers were throwing out more candy behind them(including huge Nerd Ropes - Yum!) That was fun.

I missed the W. Seattle Thriftway egg hunt, which I've heard is also quite good. But there's always next year!
