There has been a startling increase in the number of Forex currency trading scams that have been reported recently. More and more traders are being conned into taking on corrupt trading proposals that promise high profits. Unless you are a seasoned trader, or extremely well read, it’s impossible to judge immediately what a scam is and what isn’t. There are however a few warning signs that can trigger the alarm bell in your head, advising you to move cautiously and with discretion.

Sounds Too Good to Be True…

…And it probably is, too! There are no get rich schemes in Forex currency trading and if someone tries to sell you a scheme like that, you can be sure that all is not what it seems. Scamsters are forever on the look out for easy targets, and wish nothing better than to unload you of all the money you have. Therefore, check the veracity of all schemes and find out as much as you can about it, before you plunge head first into it.

No Financial Risk Involved

The ground rule of Forex currency trading is that a certain amount of risk is involved. The nature of the business is such that risk is almost expected. Therefore, companies that are inclined to downplay risks with an air of nonchalance, or do not show you the risk disclosure statements readily are surely out to fool you. Another thing to look out for is a person who asks you to use money that you can’t afford to part with. Any intelligent trader knows the importance of diversifying investments. When you come across someone who wants to put all the eggs in one basket, you’d better keep the eggs secure and look for another basket to put them in.

Trading on Margin

If you are a newbie to the world of Forex currency trading, avoid trading on margin. It takes a while to understand exactly what it means and entails and scamsters rely on this to fool gullible customers. Unless it is executed properly, margin trading is a very high risk strategy that can swing either way – you may end up making a lot of profit, or you could end up losing all your money. If you have a 50% margin, you can buy double the amount of stocks that you could with just the initial value of cash in your account. It goes without saying that if there are losses, you are liable to pay an amount that far exceeds the actual amount in your account.

Trading in the Interbank Market

The Interbank market it usually used for high level Forex trade and accessed by top level banks and financial institutions. Forex currency trading that involves the Interbank market can be extremely insecure and un-regulated. The entire currency transaction is done over a very loose network, making it extremely easy for you to lose money. Dealing in Interbank market is the perfect recipe to court trouble and disaster. If anybody proposes a scheme which involves the Interbank market, it would be best to stay away from it.

A loan modification that includes a reduction in the principle balance has some troubled homeowners worried about the tax consequences. Many mortgage loan modifications are featuring a reduction in the amount owed to more accurately reflect the homes current market value. Since many areas of the country have experienced severe value declines, this amount can be substantial. A loan modification can save a distressed homeowner thousands of dollars and prevent foreclosure, but what about the tax liability? Read on …

The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 generally allows taxpayers to exclude income from the discharge of debt on their principle residence. Debt reduced through mortgage restructuring-loan modification-as well as mortgage debt forgiven in connection with a foreclosure, qualify for this relief.

This provision applies to debt forgiven in 2007,2008 or 2009. Up to $2 million dollars of forgiven debt is eligible for this exclusion – $1 million if filing separately. The exclusion does not apply if the discharge of mortgage debt is due to services performed for the lender or any other reason not directly related to a decline in the home’s value or the taxpayers financial condition. The amount of mortgage debt excluded will reduce the taxpayers cost basis in the home. For more detailed information, please consult the IRS website.

If you are struggling with high mortgage payments and unable to refinance or sell your home, a loan modification is an option you should consider. You lender may be willing to workout new loan terms that will lower your interest rate, lengthen the term and even reduce the principle balance to arrive at an affordable and sustainable loan payment. The Federal Government is strongly encouraging lenders to reach out to distressed borrowers to offer them a loan modification before initiating any foreclosure action. Secretary Paulson has mentioned even mandating that lenders offer systematic and streamlined loan modifications to homeowners as part of the Bailout billions. It seems that finally the government is willing to step in and force lenders to offer homeowners the help they need to stop the avalanche of foreclosures across the country.

Many of the new programs have built in timelines, so you should start learning right away about your loan modification options. You don’t want to miss out on the billions of dollars in homeowner aid. You might have been given a loan you did not understand or could not afford, but do not be afraid to contact your lender now to get the help you need. Take the time to learn about your lender’s loan modification guidelines, so you will be able to prepare an acceptable application. It is not really hard for an informed homeowner to get the loan modification help they need from their lender-with just a little knowledge and preparation you can get the help you need to save your home. An informed homeowner is hard to take advantage of again!

Though each lender is different and thus, has different requirements for approval, there are some basics or guidelines that you should follow to be prepared for the application and as the old saying goes: better more than less.

Mortgage Loans For Previous Tenants

If you have been renting before and you are obtaining special terms for tenants, you will need to show proof of this fact by providing name and contact information of your landlord as well as proof of rent payments for at least two years. This information is important because the lender then knows that you have been able to afford your monthly rent payments and thus, you will be able to afford the loan payments as long as the amount is not significantly higher.

Nevertheless, you will still need to show proof of income. This is done by providing employment paystubs or tax returns if you are self employed. Any additional information regarding accounts, stocks, bonds, savings, etc. can provide more incentive to the lender because it shows that you are still capable of responding in case your income shrinks or you are left unemployed.

Mortgage Loans For Past Bankruptcies

If you have gone through a bankruptcy process in the recent past, you will need to show proof of the that you have been granted the discharge (2 years since the discharge are usually necessary for approval) and that your credit has improved since that point. Therefore, your credit report will be pulled and your credit history examined. If you had a bankruptcy, your credit needs to be impeccable from that moment on and it is a good idea to provide a written explanation of the reasons for the bankruptcy (special situations that leaded to it).

Mortgage Loans For Previously Purchased Properties

If you have purchased a property already you will be required to show the title deed but if you have made arrangements for the purchase and already signed a sales contract which has not been perfected yet because you need to obtain the mortgage loan first, you will need to show a copy of the sales contract signed both by the buyer and the seller in order to prove that the property’s ownership will be transferred to you.

General Requirements

Regardless of special situations like the above, there are certain documentation that you will always need to get approved for your mortgage loan: pay stubs from your employment or a certificate prepared by your employer stating that you work for them and are legally registered, if you are self employed, you will need proof of income that can consist on personal or corporate tax returns (if you run a business).

You may also be required to present current balances and other information on outstanding debt like student loans, personal unsecured loans, credit cards, lines of credit, mortgages and home equity loans.
