What Is Refinancing?
The process of paying off your mortgage with the proceeds from a new loan using the same property as security.
Claim Advance: FHA Loans or Conventional Loans with Private Mortgage Insurance
These plans allow for arrears to be cured by advances made by the insurer of your loan. The funds are used to bring your account current and you are obligated to repay the funds advanced. You may be required to sign a promissory note to repay the insurer through monthly installments or in one lump sum at a pre-determined time. On FHA loans, this option would require an additional lien to be placed on the property.
Mortgage Short Sale
If your property value is not sufficient to pay the loan in full, the lender may be able to accept less than the full amount owed. Sale proceeds are accepted as settlement for the debt. You may or may not be required to sign a promissory note for the difference or a portion of the difference.
Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure
This option allows you upon approval to deed your property to your lender, the investor, or insurer as settlement in lieu of foreclosure. Property must be free of all other liens.
Loan Modification
A program in which a portion of the arrears (outstanding debt) may be added to your remaining principal balance to bring the account current. It may also be possible to adjust the term of your loan and/or reduce your interest rate.
Special Forbearance/Forbearance Agreement
A formal, written agreement between you and your lender to reduce or suspend monthly payments for a pre-determined period of time. This will give you the opportunity to recover from your hardship.
Repayment Plan
A formal, written agreement between you and your lender in which Lender accepts your regular mortgage payment and a portion of your arrears for a pre-determined period of time. These plans are designed to bring the account current over a period of time and avoid the initiation of foreclosure.
Stipulation Agreement
A formal, written repayment agreement between you and your lender to bring the account current after a foreclosure action has begun. The plan suspends the foreclosure action and is designed to bring the account current. The plan payments consist of your regular mortgage payment plus a portion of the arrears each month for a pre-determined period of time. These plans are designed to bring your account current over time. The foreclosure action would be canceled if the plan were successfully completed.
