Las Vegas Foreclosure: How to Avoid it!

Refinancing Options to Stop Foreclosure

Reverse Mortgage:

A reverse mortgage is a home loan for people over 62. Older homeowners typically use them to convert home equity into cash. The loan is repaid when the borrower dies, sells the home, or moves out of the house. 

However, it is vital to understand the terms of the loan and how it will affect your heirs before applying. Below are different types of reverse mortgages:

1. Annuity
2. Lump sum
3. Line of credit
4. Term payment
5. Equal monthly payment with a line of credit
6. Term payment with a line of credit
7. HECM for Purchase

Mortgage Modification:

A mortgage modification permanently changes one or more terms of the borrower’s loan. Modifications can be a way to adjust a mortgage to make it fit better with your current financial circumstances.

Lenders may be willing to modify a loan if the borrower is experiencing financial hardship. Sometimes, allowing a modification is a better financial move for the lender.

The most common types of mortgage modification are:

1. Principal Forgiveness
2. Longer Term
3. Lowered Interest Rate

Short Refinance:

A short refinance is a transaction that involves the lender agreeing to a new loan with a lower balance. If the lender agrees, it can be an attractive option for avoiding Foreclosure. However, it’s important to note that a short refinance typically results in a lower credit score.

Forbearance:

Forbearance is an agreement between a lender and a borrower to postpone or reduce payments temporarily. It is a good option for borrowers struggling to make ends meet. The idea is to give borrowers time to get their finances back in order.

Before agreeing to forbearance, you should consider the impact on your credit score and the possibility of fees. Borrowers should also be aware that interest will continue to accrue during the forbearance period. The full balance of the mortgage still needs to be paid. 

You Got It!
