The recession hit all of America hard, but many self-employed people felt the worst part of the recession. As soon as business dried up, not only was it hard to recover lost business, but it was also hard to re-enter the traditional workforce, since many self-employed people had not worked a corporate job for years.
That is exactly what happened to one homeowner who needed our help. He had been self-employed for quite some time, and was able to make it through the worst of the recession. However, business slowed and the homeowner ended up needing to seek out work to help support his growing family. He had just managed to secure a job when he came to us for help in late December 2012, but was already over 9 months behind on his Chase mortgage, and had been served foreclosure just a few weeks before.
Florida may be in the Southernmost part of the United States, but it was and still is the center of the foreclosure crisis. Even today, thousands of Floridians are served with foreclosure papers every month. Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning that foreclosures have to proceed through through the court system in order to be completed. This combination of judicial foreclosure and the severity of the foreclosure crisis has created what is consistently the nation's largest backlog of foreclosure cases; a problem which Florida's government had not addressed until recently.
