I had two properties with no renters, and both were “under water”. I had resolved myself to letting them go into foreclosure. This would have crushed my credit and I was unsettled about it to say the least.
I had a credit score of 770 and was in danger of loosing the good credit my wife and I had worked so hard to get. I decided to give Eureka a try and I am very glad I did. I just closed one loan and the other is in the process of negotiations and should close very soon.
As soon as I had this service on my side, I was able to point the creditors to them for any questions. Once the creditors had this information on file, their calls slowed to a crawl, almost overnight. I have not heard from any of the creditors from either property for a long time. I felt like I finally had someone on my side. For the first time in months, I was able to sleep without worrying about what the future held in store.
If you are in a situation where you need to sell your property and get out from under that debt, Eureka is your answer. I do not need to wish you “good luck” as Eureka will do everything they can to make your problems a thing of the past. The sooner you act, the better things will be. Give them all the information they ask for and let them take over. You’ll be glad you did.
