It’s when a homeowner is unable to make principal and\/or interest payments on their mortgage. The lender, a bank or building society, can seize and sell the property as stipulated in the terms of the mortgage contract.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Unfortunately, Foreclosure can happen. By missing a mortgage payment, your lender has the legal means to repossess your home and force you to move out. If your property is worth less than the total amount you owe on your loan, a Deficiency Judgment could be pursued. Both a Foreclosure and a Deficiency Judgment can affect your ability to qualify for credit in the future. So you should avoid foreclosure, if possible.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

First of all, if you are struggling to make your payments, call or write to your lender’s Loss Mitigation Department right away. Explain your situation and be prepared to provide them with financial information like your monthly income and expenses. Just follow these 3 simple rules:<\/p>

  1. Contact your lender as soon as you know your payment will be late.<\/li>
  2. Never ignore the lender’s letters or phone calls.<\/li>
  3. Don’t assume that your situation is hopeless.<\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Your lender will determine if you qualify for the following alternate solutions. Also, a housing counseling agency can help you with your options, plus interact with your lender on your behalf:<\/p>

    Mortgage Modification<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 If you can currently make your regular payment, but can\u2019t catch-up on the past due amount, the lender may agree to modify your mortgage. One way is to add the past due amount into your existing loan and finance it long-term. Mortgage Modification may also be possible if you no longer can make your payments at the former level. The lender may modify your mortgage and extend the loan length, or perhaps take steps to reduce your current payments.<\/p>

    Pre-Foreclosure Sale<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Foreclosure can be avoided by selling your property for a lesser amount necessary to pay off your mortgage loan. You may qualify if:<\/p>

    1. The loan is at least 2 months delinquent<\/li>
    2. The house is sold within 3-5 months<\/li>
    3. A new appraisal, that the lender will obtain, indicates that the home value meets program guidelines.<\/li><\/ol>

      Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 This is when the lender allows you to give-back your property and forgives the debt. It does have a negative impact on your credit record; however it’s better than foreclosure. The lender may require that house be “For Sale” for a specific time period before agreeing. This route may not be possible if there are other liens against the home.<\/p>

      For FHA Loans<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The lender may assist you in getting a one-time payment from the FHA Insurance Fund. The homeowner must prove the ability to resume making full mortgage payments on time, and other conditions apply:<\/p>
