Working With a Mortgage That is in Forbearance

Submitted by bbenson
Wed, 2 Jan 2008

A forbearance agreement in real estate is an agreement by the lender not to exercise the legal right to foreclose in exchange for an agreement by the borrower to a payment plan that will cure the borrower’s delinquency. This is something that can be actively pursued by someone who is possibly facing foreclosure and wants to stop it.

In a forbearance agreement, the payments will usually stop for a period of time, but during this time, the borrower is still responsible for any and all interest that the loan may have.

In some circumstances, banks have attempted to add the interest back into the payment of the loan once it begins again. This really doesn’t help matters much. Because if the borrower was having problems making the payments in the first place, then they are certainly going to have problems making them with $300 additional in interest charges added to the monthly bill.

In situations like these, the best thing to do is to contact the bank and have them set it up to where the interest is added to the end of the loan and not added to the monthly payment. The banks will usually comply with this because it is in their best interest to not take the property back. So they will help in getting these terms to a place where the borrower can meet the payment.

But when a person is behind on these payments, it can be a challenge to work with doing anything with these mortgages. The loss mitigation departments of the lending institutions are the departments that have been known for making this somewhat difficult. If the borrower is behind, and if it has gone to lost mitigation, then that is who you will have to deal with because it is the job of these departments is to minimize the losses of the lender. Depending on how far behind the payments are will depend on whether or not you attempt a short sale or not.
