Stay In Your Home
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
