Reinstatement

What it is: A one-time lump-sum payment that covers all past due amounts.

Why it helps: Brings your mortgage current immediately if you have the full amount available.

Checkmark

Repayment Plan

What it is: Past due amounts are spread out over time and added to your regular monthly payments.

Why it helps: Lets you catch up gradually without needing a large lump-sum payment.

Checkmark

Forbearance Plan

What it is: Temporarily reduces or pauses your payments for a set period (e.g., six months).

Why it helps: Gives you time to recover financially and may lead to another option, like a loan modification.

Checkmark

Loan Modification

What it is: Permanently changes your loan terms after a successful three-month trial plan.

Why it helps: Brings your loan current and typically lowers your monthly payment to make it more manageable.

Deciding To Sell

Checkmark

Short Sale

What it is: You sell your home for less than what you owe, and the sale proceeds go toward your mortgage balance.

Why it helps: Lets you avoid foreclosure and transition out of your home. Remaining debt may be forgiven, though tax consequences may apply—consult a tax advisor.

Checkmark

Mortgage Release (Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure)

What it is: You voluntarily transfer ownership of your home to the bank in exchange for relief from some or all of your mortgage debt.

Why it helps: Offers an alternative if you’re unable to sell the home. Remaining debt may be forgiven, but tax implications may apply—consult a tax advisor.
