If your a homeowner who’s already in the process of researching ways to stop foreclosure you’ve gone past the first emotional process… Denial. I know that this is a big first step and I commend you for facing the beast head on. As tough as it may seem, this is not the end of your life. There’s life beyond delinquent mortgage payments, bad credit, and no equity. I know… I’ve been there personally with 2 properties. No matter how hard things may seem at the time you’ll find a way to adapt and grow with this experience.

Before you do anything to stop foreclosure first let’s figure out what type of method is best suited for your situation. Long Term/Permanent: You lost your business and can’t find a job. You have serious health issues that need long term care that will cost a lot of money. You are getting a divorce. Short Term / Temporary: You’re in between jobs. Your pay was cut temporarily. You were laid off but you have good job prospects lined up.

Here are some Methods that are great for Short Term or Temporary situations:

1. Reinstatement: Reinstatement is when the borrower pays the lender back what is owed, including your mortgage and any associated fees. You can choose to pay off the delinquent amount in one lump sum or work out a repayment plan with the bank.

2. Forbearance: This is when the lender allows you to reduce or suspend your mortgage payments for a short period of time until you can get back on your feet. This does not forgive your debt in any way and allows you to repay the suspended amount at a future date, while your accumulated interest payments will be added to your mortgage balance.
