Loan Modification

If you are struggling to pay your mortgage and believe that foreclosure may be a possibility in the future, you may be able to work with your lender to secure a loan modification. After it is established that you have qualified, under certain criteria, for the modification, you may be able to renegotiate the terms of your loan, including the interest rate, and continue paying on your loan. However, lenders often do this for borrowers only when it is in the best interests of the lender.

Short Sale

Sometimes also referred to as a sheriff’s sale, a short sale is carried out in order to prevent foreclosure. This type of transaction may be completed when a mortgage lender or bank agrees to discount a loan balance due to a mortgagor’s economic hardship. Banks often allow this when it will result in a smaller financial loss than a foreclosure.

Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure

A deed in lieu of foreclosure states that a borrower conveys all interest in his or her property to the lender to satisfy a loan that is in default, avoiding foreclosure. This type of transaction is beneficial to the borrower since the deed releases the borrower from all or most of the debt associated with the loan. The terms of the deed are often better than would have resulted from the foreclosure.
