BEHIND ON YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?
YOUR MORTGAGE LENDER SHOULD HAVE RESOURCES
TO WORKOUT YOUR MORTGAGE!
-
Forbearance
As a homeowner, your lender may let you make a partial payment, or skip a payment! Typically, if you have a reasonable plan in catching up on your mortgage, your lender should be willing to work with you!
-
Reinstatement
-
Repayment Plan
If the homeowner can not pay all their back payments upfront, a Repayment Plan is likely to be a fair plan and allow an additional amount to be paid on a monthly basis.
-
Loan Modification
Your lender may allow an amended mortgage to help avoid foreclosure. These options include:
A. Adding all missed payments to the loan amount.
B. Adding years on to the loan, lowering the interest rate, or forgiving part of the loan to lower monthly payment.
C. Switching from an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage.
-
Sign Over the Deed in Exchange for Debt Forgiveness
This will likely hurt the homeowner's credit, but, is better than facing a foreclosure.
