Hopefully the word "Recourse" isn't prevalent in your loan documents.Things like own your vehicle 100%, make sure your living situation is still available (even if it means having to move into an apartment), cellular service will still be on, etc...And like has been stated above keep an open channel with YOUR lenders, (IF) there is a problem you may be able to work something out--this is a National Problem.Good Luck!

As a contractor myself I was excited to see this as a resource, when I saw homeadvisor I was pretty upset.Homeadvisor preys on contractors, sells them bogus leads or over used leads, locks them into incredibly high prices which dont get me wrong if your getting quality leads you pay but there leads are literally wild goose chases.This is so prevalent they filed a class action lawsuit against them.Please do not use home advisor, shop and vet you local contractors.
