I am probably too far away to do it, but it would have been helpful to say what the property might be worth, in relation to the loan - i.e., is it under water or is there equity? Also, are there other loans on the property? I assume this was a refinance, since you mention a loan rep and remodeling. The reason for asking is that a reverse mortgage might be a possibility.
