The right option for you depends on your individual circumstances. If you provide all required information and documentation
about your situation, we can determine if you qualify for temporary or long-term relief, including solutions that may allow you to stay in your home
(refinance, repayment, forbearance, loan modification) or leave your home while avoiding foreclosure (short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure).
Approval of any of these options may be subject to the Investor and/or Insurer of the loan. In order to evaluate each of these options, your lender will require you to provide your financial information, letter of circumstance and a listing agreement among other items. U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD)-approved counselors are available to provide you with the information and assistance you may need to avoid foreclosure. You can use the search tool at http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/fc/ to find a counselor near you. |
