BofA holding Miami Beach loan mod expo

More than 19,000 homeowners could get help with their mortgages this week at an expo in Miami Beach put on by Bank of America, the South Florida Business Journal reported. The bank, which has approximately 1 million mortgages in Florida, booked 140 rooms at the Miami Beach Convention Center for the event, which will take place from Thursday to Saturday. “If we can do a loan modification and the customer wants to remain in the home, and they want to be with us a few hours, then we can do it right there,” said Jessica Garcia, a vice president in national mortgage outreach for the bank.
