Halo built its foundation on consumers and their financial needs.  Halo’s release today indicated: Residential Mortgage Meltdown Could See 11 Million Potential New Foreclosures in the Next 18 Months

A new agreement has been reached with Employee Transfer Corporation which is a nationally recognized provider of relocation, REO asset management, and short sale services.  Employee Transfer Corporation has a nationwide real estate broker network and focuses on contracting with lenders to assist in the disposition of foreclosed properties nationwide.

For the Immediate Future Business in Distressed Mortgages is Abundant

Many struggling borrowers owe far more to their lenders on their home mortgage than the current value of their homes and wonder whether it is worthwhile to keep paying or whether there is an alternative.

Halo helps homeowners understand their entire financial situation and find a solution that works for them.

Halo has distressed mortgage opportunities for as far as the eye can see now.  Anyone who bought a home since 2003 is ‘underwater.’

The number of homeowners who are underwater on their mortgages is growing. Some 11.3 million households with a mortgage owed more than their homes were worth at the end of the fourth quarter, according to First American CoreLogic, a real-estate information company based in Santa Ana, Calif., up from 10.7 million at the end of the third quarter.

Employee Transfer Corporation focuses on contracting with lenders to assist in the disposition of foreclosed properties nationwide.  Halo is ready to address mortgage problems on a national basis.  Problem mortgages are concentrated in the states that have had the biggest home price declines. In Nevada, seven in 10 borrowers were underwater at the end of December, up from 65% three months earlier. Nearly half of all borrowers in Arizona and Florida and one third of borrowers in California owe more than their properties are worth.

Halo Companies is one of the few ways to capitalize on the mortgage bubble.
