You may face difficulty in paying off your monthly mortgage
payments. Chances are there that you may default in paying off
the loan. In case of default, you may have to face the scars of
foreclosure.



If you are indeed facing troubles in paying off your loan, first
of all, you must write a hardship letter to your lender. Through
a hardship letter, you can bring to the notice of the lenders the
problems faced by you. The hardship letter must clearly explain
the reasons why you are in default, what measures you have
resorted to rectify the situation and what workout plan you are
interested to adopt. If your lender is convinced, you may be
offered some relaxations or waiver in the loan payment.



Anyways, loan modification program would be the best option
under such circumstances. Loan modification program modifies
your existing loan to a new one with better terms. This offers you
the chance to lower down the monthly mortgage amount, which in
turn helps you repay the loan with more ease. Moreover, this also
helps you save some money on a regular basis. The term of the
loan is however increased.

You need to see if you can get your bank to modify your loan so that your payment is lower.

Hi paskounis!

Welcome to forums!

I agree with Eric. Loan modification is the best option for you in order to save the property. You can write a hardship letter to your lender explaining your situation and check if he can modify the loan for you.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

Hi antwan,

She can go for a reverse mortgage. If she goes for this option, she may not be liable to make payments every month.

Thanks

hello, folks !
one should understand the math properties of mortgage loans: the monthly payments get smaller once either interest rate is lowered (what happens now when Central Banks lower the rates), or when the duration (maturity) of a loan is increased, or when you reduce the nominal value, i.e. do a prepayment. All this you can see on finadatasolutions.com. You may also consider a scenario to sell your house, pay the remaining loan, then buy a new, cheaper house (this applies when you already paid notable fraction and your house costs enough to exchange it for cheaper but still suitable house).

you can try to refinance to a 40yr fixed, an arm with a lower rate or an interest only loan.
