OTHER IDEAS TO STOP FORECLOSURE IN VOLUSIA

  • Can family members help keep my house from foreclosure?

    Yes! While it may feel challenging and even embarrassing, reaching out to family members for assistance can be a lifeline when facing foreclosure. Family members often care deeply about your well-being and may be willing to help you save your home. 


    Swallowing your pride and discussing your situation openly with them can lead to financial support, co-signing on a loan, or even temporary housing arrangements. Family support can make a significant difference in your ability to stop foreclosure.

  • Can I sell something to stop foreclosure?

    Yes! That is if you have any assets you haven't considered. Look around your home and consider items you could sell to generate the necessary funds to bring your mortgage current. Assets like an extra vehicle, valuable collectibles, unused jewelry, or even a life insurance policy can provide an immediate financial boost. Have a retirement account? Have you considered an early withdrawal? You might face a penalty, but it could save your home. Selling any of these assets can help you catch up on missed payments and prevent foreclosure.

  • Could getting a side hustle stop foreclosure?

    Yes, it could! To bolster your financial situation and catch up on mortgage payments, consider exploring side hustle opportunities. Platforms like Airbnb, DoorDash, or Uber provide flexible ways to earn extra income. Renting out a spare room on Airbnb, delivering food with DoorDash, or driving as an Uber or Lyft driver can contribute to your monthly income. These side hustles can help you cover your mortgage payments and work towards stabilizing your financial situation.
