Loan Modification a Gamble For Las Vegas Homeowners

Las Vegas, NV - April 10, 2012 - (RealEstateRama) -- We’ve all heard the same story over and over.

After waiting many months, the loan modification is denied, and the bank recommends the homeowner do a short sale. While this story may sound quite familiar, there is another story; much more frightening, that is NOT being told.
