If someone has lost their job or is facing a difficult financial situation, there are solutions thanks to the Economic Stimulus Act – the ability to conduct loan modifications.
Lenders will be able to renegotiate loan terms with their borrowers through agencies conducting loan modifications.
A loan modification will assist a home owner to do one or all of the following:
- Reduce the principal balance on the mortgage
- Cut the interest rate and payment amount on the mortgage
- Forgive amounts of late payments
These are all opportunities to save homeowners from having to go through a foreclosure. Since home values are affected by foreclosures, this will not only work to help homeowners in trouble, but will help stabalize home values.
