Practical Solutions Before And During Foreclosure

Loss mitigation is the steps a lender or servicer may take to reduce the impact of a borrower’s default. From the creditor side, it may involve reviewing options that stabilize the loan, resolve arrears or create a documented path toward repayment or property resolution.

Workouts differ from foreclosure litigation, though they may occur at the same time. A foreclosure case focuses on enforcing rights after default. On the other hand, a workout focuses on creating terms that may avoid further loss, shorten the resolution timeline or preserve compliance with applicable servicing rules.

Common workout options may include:

• Loan modifications that adjust rates, terms, arrears or repayment structures
• Repayment plans that allow a structured cure of missed payments
• Forbearance agreements for short-term hardship situations
• Deeds in lieu of foreclosure involving title, lien and occupancy review
• Short sale support, including approvals, deficiency issues and lien negotiations
• Reinstatement, payoff or discounted payoff agreements with proper releases
• Consent judgments or stipulations when terms need to be enforceable if default happens again

Each option must be reviewed carefully. Poor documentation or missed notices can create delays and disputes for servicers.
