On the eastern side of the US, Pennsylvania is directly below New York, with New Jersey on its east side. Harrisburg is the capital city, and the official bird is the Ruffed Grouse, sometimes mistaken for the partridge or pheasant, and the state flower is the Mountain Laurel. Pennsylvania's largest cities are Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie, Upper Darby Twp, Reading, Scranton, Bethlehem and Lancaster.

Pennsylvania is not experiencing foreclosures at the same rate as other states. But that does not mean that home owners are not having financial difficulties. And, it does not mean that those who have lost their homes did so because of high living and poor financial management. On the contrary, many fell behind on payments due to job loss and illness, which prevented them from working. Many also thought that their situations were temporary, and did not seek relief either through non-profit organizations or Pennsylvania mortgage refinance. Also, even though many people who have sub-prime loans do pay on time, the number of these riskier types of mortgages issued in Pennsylvania was lower than other areas of the country. For borrowers elsewhere, who purchased expensive homes with sub-prime lending, they were more likely to default on their mortgages. This is not a significant factor in Pennsylvania.

Another complaint that has come up in Pennsylvania for individuals who have already been through foreclosures is the feeling of helplessness. Lenders were difficult to contact, awareness of state or federal programs was non-existent, as they had not even heard of any of the programs potentially available to them, and they did not know that mediation was available. They were basically caught in a spiral where someone else was dictating the direction. Clearly, knowledge and information are important when home owners face foreclosures. With feelings of "loss of control" over their situations, home owners may not even have realized that Pennsylvania mortgage refinance was an option.

Right now, mortgage interest rates have dropped, and it is possible that home owners have existing home loans at higher rates. In order to capitalize on new interest rates, they might consider Pennsylvania mortgage refinance as a way to reduce payments, reduce other debt, or even to pay down more of their mortgages. Many lenders, however, do not want to refinance because of the obvious loss in interest income, but other financial institutes are competing for the business. They may be only too happy to oblige.

But one caution before jumping into action. Always, always...Run the numbers! That means, calculate the costs to obtain refinancing which includes fees for the new loans, as well as prepayment penalties and accrued interest on the existing mortgages. A computer spreadsheet or a simple piece of paper and pencil will help home owners assess their situations more accurately, and then understand which paths to choose. Ultimately, the final decisions must benefit the home owners in direct and positive ways. The end results must be tangible.

Pennsylvania is a fun state where residents can learn about American history or just sit back and enjoy nature in the Poconos.
