Ms. Butler, people including me have asked you to explain this magical "lease" program. The only information that I can find that is even close to what you have described in the past is a scam that does not benefit the homeowner at all. Would you please explain your program. Maybe it is different.

Stay in your home and have your mortgage principle reduced. In your price range these programs work absolute wonders.

You're definitely not alone! In reality, though, "paper" value only matters if you need to sell soon. If not, it's your HOME and, as long as you can afford the monthly payments you're ok.

If you do not have to sell, i would stay put until thinks turn around, you can contact your bank , ask for home retention department and ask if they can offer you any assistance. if you are facing a financial hardship and need to sell, then ask them to complete a short sal where they can reduce what you owe.
