Request Forbearance
The CARES Act's protections for homeowners were set to expire at the end of September 30, 2021, however, the program has been extended indefinitely. This cancels the September 30, 2021 mortgage forbearance deadline (to request an initial forbearance). You can read more on the U.D. Department of Housing and Urban here. If your loan is backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, there is not currently a deadline for requesting an initial forbearance.
All federally-backed loans qualify for special Covid-19 forbearance, which makes it a fairly easy process.
Extend Existing Forbearance
The forbearance will depend upon your loan provider and how long you have been in forbearance, you may also qualify for an extension of time. If you are still in forbearance or are in fear of defaulting on your mortgage, there are protections for homeowners. Act quickly!
Forbearance Ending and Cannot Afford Your Monthly Payments
If your forbearance period is about to end and you cannot afford your monthly mortgage payments, modifying your loan terms may be a solution.
For FHA loans, the COVID-19 Advance Loan Modification (also known as COVID-19 ALM) program is available to those who qualify and may reduce monthly mortgage principal and interest payments by up to 25%.
If Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac services your mortgage, there are also ways to lower your monthly payments. However, keep in mind every lender and servicer is different and your situation is different. The best way to find out what options exist for you is to reach out to your bank and ask.
If you are in default and facing foreclosure, start preparing now! We can help you navigate the options and help you find a solution.
