There are a number of loan modification changes that can be handled in a loan modification plan. Here is a closer look at all of these options and how they can work to make a mortgage loan easier for a person to pay off.
Interest rate reduction. An interest rate reduction will work in that the interest rate on one’s mortgage loan is going to be cut. In most cases the rate will be cut to something that is much lower than what one was dealing with. The goal of the reduction is to make monthly payments low enough to where they will constitute about thirty percent of the gross monthly income that a client gets.
Sometimes the reduction is used to make it so an adjustable rate will become a fixed rate that is not going to be too high. In other cases the reduction can work to get a high rate to be closer to a lower rate if the rate has changed over time. This is especially useful in the event that a person got a fixed rate mortgage and the market rate has gone down substantially.
Payment extension. This is where the amount of time that is needed to get a loan paid off will be increased. The extension can work as a means of allowing a person to pay less money each month on one’s mortgage loan. This can be used to ensure that the loan will be easier for someone to pay off and that it will meet the gross monthly income standard that a plan must work with.
A payment extension can work for up to ten years in a majority of cases. Also, a payment extension may work in conjunction with an interest rate reduction. The chances of this happening will vary by each mortgage owner.
Fee removals. Any fees that a person had to deal with on a loan modification can be removed. This can be done because these fees will be determined as optional expenses that a person did not have to deal with in the first place. This change in a loan modification will work to allow a person to spend less money overall.
Principal reduction. This is the least common solution that a person can handle in a loan modification plan. This works in that the principal that a person had on one’s loan, which is the amount of money left to spend on a home before interest, is reduced. The reduction will be permanent and will not be added back onto one’s bill at any time. This is beneficial but it is primarily for those who have severe difficulties with paying off their mortgages. It is often used as the last option that someone will use in a loan modification plan.
These four changes all vary but they are all beneficial. The best thing for a person to do is to consult one’s loan modification specialist for information on which option will be best for one’s needs.
