FAQ
Lenders differ in their mortgage modification requirements, but typically they require you to show that: You're at least one regular mortgage payment behind, or a missed payment is imminent. You've incurred significant financial hardship, for reasons including: Long-term illness or disability.
A mortgage modification changes the terms of your original mortgage agreement. Your lender will work with you to try and find a way to lower your monthly payment by adjusting the terms of your current mortgage. The goal is to help you get back on track.
Generally, once you've locked in a mortgage rate, the terms are fixed and usually cannot be renegotiated. However, some lenders offer a float down option, allowing you to negotiate mortgage rates if market conditions shift favorably during the rate lock-in period.
Your best chance at getting a modification is to demonstrate the ability to repay and a thorough understanding of the costs and income you face going forward. If the problem making payments is short-term, ask your lender about forbearance or postponement of payments for a limited period.
