Mortgage Rate Reduction or Loan Restructuring

A Loan Modification is a permanent change in one or more of the terms of a mortgagor's loan, allows the loan to be reinstated, and results in a payment the mortgagor can afford.

Loan Modification is also a great solution for a borrower who wants to stay in their property, but can't afford the payment to adjust upward, or can't quite afford the current mortgage payment. In that situation, a mortgage pay rate reduction is an ideal solution because it will lower the monthly mortgage payment to a manageable amount. Loan Modification is also a solution when the payment has not been made for a while, but the borrower can now afford to start making payments again.

The type of Loan Modification that is most beneficial for a borrower behind on mortgage payments is called a "recapitalization agreement." A Recapitalization agreement takes all the arrears, interest, fees, and accumulated payments and adds it to the principal of the mortgage loan. The result of this negotiation is a slightly larger principal loan amount, but a status of "current" on the mortgage loan payments going forward.

As an alternative to a mortgage pay rate reduction, if you are unable to make payments at the current rate, we can often negotiate with your lender to extend your loan for a longer period of time, modifying the loan amount to a more affordable level.

A Loan Modification will change your existing mortgage loan and give you a fresh new start in managing your home. Your account will be brought up to date immediately.
