[You may have options that could help make your mortgage more affordable, including:]
[Forbearance. This is a temporary reduction or suspension of your mortgage payments. Forbearance might be available if recent events have made it difficult for you to make your payments—for example, if you recently lost your job, suffered from a disaster, or had an illness or injury that increased your health care costs. If this option is available, your lender could create a payment plan to make up any missed payments over a period of time.]
[Mortgage modification. Your lender may be able to change your loan terms, such as your interest rate, the amount of principal you owe, or the number of years you have to repay the loan.]
[If you are not able to continue paying your mortgage, your best option may be to find more affordable housing. As an alternative to foreclosure, you might be able to transfer ownership of your home without having to pay off the full amount of your mortgage, although you would be required to leave your home. For example, you may be eligible for the following option[s]:]
[Short-sale. With your lender’s permission, you might be able to sell your home and pay off your mortgage even if the sale price is less than your remaining balance. You might also be eligible to receive money to help you move.]
[Deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Your lender may release you from your mortgage if you transfer ownership of your home to your lender. As with a short sale, you might also be eligible to receive money to help you move.]
[Call us today to learn more about your options and for instructions on how to apply.]
