It is not at all rare for financial institutions that purchase annuities to encounter an individual selling his structured settlement to cover his mortgage payments. In fact, more often than not, people who sell their annuities have the intention of saving their homes from being repossessed.

Even though generally, mortgage payments are low and affordable to home owners, many are still struggling to pay their mortgages. Some even miss payments causing them to lose their homes. About ten thousand homes are repossessed each quarter, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders. This is truly an alarming rate. Avoiding house foreclosure is not an easy task and many families undergo upheaval and stress because of it. And even though receiving regular payments from a structured settlement can be a good source of income while one is unable to work because of a temporary or permanent disability, one’s home is as important as receiving income in a regular basis.

It is true that no one would want to see his family homeless. Yet, finding ways to resolve mortgage arrears should be dealt with careful consideration of all the pros and cons to avoid ending up with more debts and financial problems in the future.
