Loan Modification
A loan modification adjusts your mortgage terms to make payments more affordable — such as extending your loan term or reducing your interest rate.
What It Is
A loan modification is a permanent change to one or more terms of your mortgage that makes your monthly payment more affordable. Changes can include:
- Extending the loan term (e.g., from 30 to 40 years)
- Reducing the interest rate
- Converting from an adjustable-rate to a fixed-rate mortgage
- Adding missed payments to the end of the loan
Pros
- ✓Lower monthly payments you can afford
- ✓Keep your home and avoid foreclosure
- ✓Can be done yourself for free (no third-party fees)
- ✓Permanent solution to affordability issues
