Mortgage loan modification (home loan modification) is where the lender may lower your mortgage rate, or add any dues to the mortgage balance and extend your loan period. This is to ensure that your monthly payments are reduced.
There can also be a reduction in the principal balance you owe. The purpose is to make your payments affordable so that you can save your credit and keep your home.
Loan modifications (mortgage modifications) are suitable for you when:
- You have experienced a long-term reduction in income.
- Your monthly expenses have increased.
- You don't have enough income to pay off mortgage dues
