What is Loan Modification?
Loan modification is a process that
allows homeowners and lenders to
change the terms of a loan in order to
help the borrower stop foreclosure.

A loan modification is NOT a new loan. It
is the renegotiation - or loan
restructuring - of an existing mortgage
note.

For homeowners behind on their
mortgage, or those with a low credit
score, a loan modification is often the
only option available because they are
unable to get approved for a mortgage
refinance or a short-refinance.

A loan modification can be done in
several ways or combination of ways
listed below:

the loan's interest rate may be
decreased
the interest rate could be changed from
an adjustable to a fixed rate
the period of time the borrower has to
pay the loan back can be lengthened
the type of loan could be changed
altogether

Many borrowers are facing foreclosure
because their interest only or variable
rate loan interest terms have sky
rocketed beyond what they could have
imagined.

A loan restructuring is an agreeable
way for both the lender and the
borrower to avoid the cost and hassle
of the foreclosure process.

FREE STUFFS, More Things Your Hotel Desk Clerk
Won’t Tell You

1. Most of us are happy to help if you want us to tell callers you’re not
registered at the hotel, or if you ask us where to park so you can’t see
your car from the interstate. But we’re also talking behind your back
about what you might be hiding.  


2. Always request clean linens when you check in. We wash the sheets
every day, but blankets often only get washed once a week. And the
bedspreads? If there’s no visible stain, it’s maybe once a month.


3. In this economy, everything is negotiable. If your hotel offers a hot
breakfast buffet as well as a free continental breakfast, ask if you can
get the hot breakfast with your room. Very rarely will we tell you no.


4. If you travel frequently, use the same hotel each time and get to know
the staff. Regulars are recognized and treated as VIPs.  You could get
free upgrades, discounts, and more.  


5. Unless you want to pay $10 for a 5-minute call, never use the long
distance. In fact, it’s best to specifically ask for it to be turned off. We’ve
had situations in which housekeepers have made calls from a guest’s
phone.  


6. No matter how confident the reservations agent sounds, if you request
a king bed, there’s no guarantee. Call the hotel directly and make the
request again a few days before you travel. Then do it again on the day
of. If we still don’t have one when you get there and you’re nice about it,
we may comp your breakfast or upgrade you to a suite.  


7. Don’t act like you own the place. Our policy is to automatically upgrade
people if we’ve got the space – but I’m not going to do it if you’re snarky.  


8. It seems to have gone out of fashion to tip your housekeeper. Most are
paid minimum wage with the expectation of tips.  Take care of them and
they’ll take care of you.

Understanding mortgage forbearance vs.
loan modification...

To get a special forbearance, here are some conditions you need to meet:
Your loan must be delinquent for at least 90 days. It cannot be more than 365 days late.

Your loan must not be in foreclosure. Foreclosure may be suspended in order to start
your special forbearance.
The lender must give you debt relief not offered under an informal forbearance plan.
===========

Forbearance
Forbearance, in the context of a mortgage process, is a special agreement between the
lender and the borrower to delay a foreclosure. The literal meaning of forbearance is
"holding back".

When mortgage borrowers are unable to meet their repayment terms, lenders may opt to
foreclose. To avoid foreclosure, the lender and the borrower can make an agreement
called "forbearance."

According to this agreement, the lender delays its right to exercise foreclosure if the
borrower can catch up to its payment schedule by a certain time. This period and the
payment plan depend on the details of the agreement that is accepted by both parties.
==========

Forbearance payment?
Forbearance is a temporary postponement of mortgage payments. It is a form of
repayment relief granted by the lender or creditor in lieu of forcing a property into
foreclosure
============

Special Loan Forbearance...
A special forbearance is a written agreement between your mortgage lender and you. To
get a special forbearance, here are some conditions you need to meet:

Your loan must be delinquent for at least 90 days. It cannot be more than 365 days late.
Your loan must not be in foreclosure. Foreclosure may be suspended in order to start
your special forbearance.

The lender must give you debt relief not offered under an informal forbearance plan.
The maximum about delinquent must not be more than 12 months worth of house
payments.

These house payments include principal, interest, taxes and insurance.
The special forbearance plan must reinstate the loan on a pre-arranged time table. After
you are caught up, you may get a loan modification.
=============
You must prove you had a loss of income or increase in expenses that led to your loan
default. You must also show that your income is high enough to reinstate the loan
according to the plan.

During the forbearance, you must live in the property as your
primary residence.
After the forbearance is executed and your loan is reinstated, you may sell the property.
The property must be inspected and be in acceptable condition for you to qualify.

Some specified repairs may be part of the forbearance
plan.
Your written agreement with your lender must include the term, frequency of payments,
and amount of payments due.

Your agreement will include any mortgage payments you’ve already missed, and there will
be a disclosure that if you don’t succeed in the forbearance plan, your home may be
foreclosed.

Your lender will be able to get special incentives from HUD if they offer you a special
forbearance that saves your home.

This can be a good option if you meet all of the requirements, so talk to a housing
consultant from a HUD-approved agency to find out more about a special forbearance and
whether you might qualify.
Mortgage Forbearance vs. Loan Modification:
Which Is Right for You?

WHO IT’S BEST FOR:
Mortgage forbearance could be your best option if you’re on the verge of
falling behind and need a break from payments to make adjustments to your
finances.

A forbearance is ideal for people experiencing a temporary, short-term
hardship, but it’s not a permanent solution, said Sara Singhas, director of
loan administration with the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).

Loan modification
On the other hand, a loan modification changes the original terms of your
loan permanently.
Those changes might include extending your repayment term or lowering
your interest rate, for example.

You either have to be in jeopardy of falling behind or already in default on
your mortgage to qualify for a loan modification.

A loan modification typically won’t affect your credit profile, but any late
payments (30 days behind or more) leading up to, and possibly during, the
modification will.

Your credit score could drop by a range of 60 to 130 points, depending on
where it stood before your missed mortgage payments, according to
research from FICO.

WHO IT’S BEST FOR:
If you’re already in default, a mortgage modification may work better for you.
Some lenders require that you be in “imminent default,” meaning you’re
already past-due on payments or expect to be within a certain time frame, to
request a loan modification.

=======


Temporary payment relief   -  Permanent payment
relief..
Missed payments are not reported to credit bureaus        Missed payments
before or during a modification may be reported to credit bureaus
Financial documentation to prove hardship is not required   Financial
documentation proving hardship may need to be provided

Payments can be paused up to 12 months for federally backed loans        
Must continue to make monthly mortgage payments
The foreclosure process is halted during the forbearance period

There’s a foreclosure risk if additional payments are missed
A lump sum may be due for the missed payments at the end of the
forbearance period        No lump-sum payments
Terms of the original loan remain the same        Changes your original loan
terms
=============
:

Lump-sum reinstatement payment
The entire balance of paused payments is due with this option. Although it
requires the biggest cash outlay, it also brings you current without
increasing your loan balance or adding to your monthly payment.

Partial-payment plan
If you were able to pay a portion of your payment during your forbearance
period, you may be able to pay back just the missed payment balance or have
your payment increased for a set period of time until the past-due balance is
paid off.

Loan modification
If you can’t quite afford your original mortgage payments once your
forbearance period is over but can pay a reduced amount, consider applying
for a loan modification with your lender or servicer.

Expect a trial repayment period for the first few months to demonstrate your
ability to afford the lower monthly payments.
============

Payment deferral
Most investors are offering to bundle all the missed payments and make
them non-interest bearing, said Sapan Bafna, vice president of advanced
delivery engines with CoreLogic.

The payment doesn’t go up, and the borrower doesn’t have to worry about
the additional payments until they sell or refinance their home.

Some loan programs, like FHA, may not permit payment deferrals. In that
case, a loan modification is the only option, Bafna said.

Some conventional lenders will begin offering a special payment deferral
program on July 1 to homeowners — with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac-owned
loans — who are financially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

The program allows them to resume their regular monthly mortgage
payments after forbearance, and add the previously missed payments to the
end of their loan repayment term.

o modify mortgage loan is an alternative to foreclosure to homeowners who
cannot afford their current loan payment:

It helps modify the current mortgage so the homeowner can afford the newly
modified mortgage.
The true purpose of modifying one’s mortgage for homeowners to be able to
make their mortgage payments.
All delinquent mortgage payments can be added on to the back of the loan
balance or forgiven.
Loan modifications are most common for secured loans, such as mortgages,
but you may also be able to modify other types of loans. That could include
personal loans or student loans.

A loan modification can relieve some of the financial pressure you feel by
lowering your monthly payments and stopping collection activity.

But loan modifications are not foolproof. They could increase the cost of your
loan and add derogatory remarks to your credit report.

That doesn't mean you should avoid a loan modification. But before you jump
at the chance, consider all the angles.

========
What Are the Benefits of a Loan Modification?
Loan modification can change one or more of the terms of your loan to provide relief if
you are financially stressed by the coronavirus pandemic or otherwise. Modifications can
include:

Reducing your interest rate
Changing a variable interest rate to a fixed one
Extending the term length

The extended loan term compensates the lender for the reduced interest rate or
payment. So your 30-year mortgage might become a 40-year one, Broeker says.

But in exchange you'll get:

A reduced payment. If you can reduce your monthly payment, it could be just the relief
you need to pull through tough times.

A chance to keep your home. Banks prefer to avoid foreclosure because it's an
expensive process. The best outcome for the homeowner and the bank is a loan
modification to make continued payments possible.

What Is a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure? An
Option for When You Default on Your Mortgage..

Deed in lieu of foreclosure:
A deed in lieu of foreclosure is a deed instrument in which a mortgagor  the
borrower) conveys all interest in a real property to the mortgagee  the
lender) to satisfy a loan that is in default and avoid foreclosure proceedings.

The deed in lieu of foreclosure offers several advantages to both the
borrower and the lender.  

A deed in lieu of foreclosure is one of the options available to homeowners
who default on their mortgage.

For borrowers at risk of losing their home, a deed in lieu
of foreclosure can be a better solution than a full foreclosure
for a number of reasons—chief among them the fact that your credit score
will take less of a hit. Here's what to expect when you're asking a lender to
consider this.
What is a deed in lieu of foreclosure?
Homeowners who decide not to put up a fight to keep their home or to stave
off foreclosure can instead pursue a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

It is essentially a legal and binding document that transfers the title from the
homeowners to the bank that holds the mortgage.

This process means signing over any legal right to your
home, and handing over both the deed and the keys to the
house.

In exchange, the lender agrees to immediately release the borrowers from
their mortgage obligations. Lenders tend to be open to this option.

After all, when a homeowner comes to a bank and says, "take my house, I know
I can't pay," a lender is saving the costs that come with a traditional
foreclosure process.

The same goes for the homeowner. "They give the house back to the lender to
avoid the hassle of dealing with the legal process and harm it causes to their
credit,"  This approach was especially common in the early 2000s

Be aware that some mortgage agreements don't allow for a deed in lieu of
foreclosure.

"Most loan programs have specific guidelines that determine what options a
homeowner can pursue when they go into default," Wilson says.
Advantages of a deed in lieu of foreclosure for
borrowers
If your mortgage service has given you the go-ahead for a deed in lieu
of foreclosure, there are some things that will benefit you.

By admitting fault from the start, a homeowner essentially stops
foreclosure proceedings in their tracks.

The bank doesn't have to file paperwork, nor does the homeowner
have to go through the back-and-forth of whether or not the bank will
take the house.

While some homeowners want to delay the process while they
scramble to pull together the cash to save their home, opting for the
deed in lieu of foreclosure can be a relief.

Short Sale
Real Estate
A short sale is a sale of real estate in which the net proceeds from selling the
property will fall short of the debts secured by liens against the property. In
this case, if all lien holders agree to accept less than the amount owed on the
debt, a sale of the property can be accomplished.

What Is a Short Sale (Real Estate)?
A short sale in real estate is when a financially distressed homeowner sells
their property for less than the amount due on the mortgage.

The buyer of the property is a third party (not the bank),
and all proceeds from the sale go to the lender.

The lender either forgives the difference or gets a deficiency judgment
against the borrower requiring them to pay the lender all or part of the
difference between the sale price and the original value of the mortgage. In
some states, this difference must legally be forgiven in a short sale.

A short sale in real estate is one in which a house is sold for a price that is
less than the amount still owed on the mortgage.

It is up to the mortgage lender to approve a short sale.

Sometimes the difference between the sale price and the mortgage amount
is forgiven by the lender, but not always.
For the seller, the financial consequences of a short sale are less severe
than those of a foreclosure.

For the buyer, it’s important to calculate costs and be sure that there is room
for profit when the house is resold.
Understanding a Short Sale (Real Estate)

The term “short sale” refers to the fact that the home is
being sold for less than the balance remaining on the
mortgage—for example, a person selling a home for $150,000 when there
is still $175,000 remaining on the mortgage. In this example, the difference of
$25,000, minus closing costs, and other costs of selling, is considered the
deficiency.



What's more, short sales don’t always negate the remaining mortgage debt
after a property is sold. This is because there are two parts to all mortgages:
a promise to repay the lender and a lien against the property used to secure
the loan.

The lien protects the lender in case a borrower
can’t repay the loan. It gives the lending institution the right to
sell the property for repayment. This part of the mortgage is waived in a short
sale.  

he second part of the mortgage is the promise to repay, and lenders can still
enforce this portion, either through a new note or the collection of the
deficiency. Whatever happens, lending institutions must approve the short
sale, and borrowers are sometimes at their whim.

When convincing a lender to agree to a short sale, it’s vital that the source of
the buyer’s financial trouble be new and not something the buyer previously
withheld.
Short Sale vs. Foreclosure
Short sales and foreclosures are two financial options available to
homeowners who are behind on their mortgage payments, have a home that
is underwater, or both. In both cases, the owner is forced to part with the
home, but the timeline and consequences are different in each situation.


A foreclosure is the act of the lender seizing the
home after the borrower fails to make payments.
Foreclosure is the last option for the lender. Unlike a short sale, foreclosures
are initiated by lenders only.

The lender moves against the delinquent borrower to force the sale of a
home, hoping to make good on its initial investment of the mortgage.



Once the lender has access to the home, it orders an
appraisal and proceeds with trying to sell it. Foreclosures do
not normally take as long to complete as a short sale, because the lender is
concerned with liquidating the asset quickly. Foreclosed homes may also be
auctioned off at a trustee sale, where buyers bid on homes in a public
process.

A homeowner who has gone through a short sale may, with certain
restrictions, be eligible to purchase another home immediately. Depending
on the circumstances, homeowners who experience foreclosure can expect
to wait two to seven years to purchase another home.


A foreclosure is kept on a person’s credit report for seven years.
