The COVID-19 has hit all industries hard, especially the housing
market. Healthy going into the pandemic, the market could see a 70
percent increase in mortgage defaults and foreclosures over the next
two years. There are no predictions of a drastic downward spiral as was
seen in the 2008-2010 recession, but the expected down tick is a wake-up
call to prepare now to help your client through the difficulties that
may be just ahead.
This book will provide you with a review of recent case law and recommendations for handling foreclosures in the COVID era.
