Frequently Asked Questions

Forbearance exit options?

(1) Lump sum: pay all skipped at end of forbearance (rare, usually not feasible). (2) Repayment plan: spread skipped over 6-24 months in addition to regular payments. (3) Loan modification: skipped added to principal, re-amortized over remaining term (or extended term). (4) Deferment: skipped become balloon at loan end. (5) COVID-era option: skipped added as junior zero-interest note payable at sale/refinance. Each has different monthly + lifetime cost.

Best option economics?

Deferment (balloon): lowest current cost, highest lifetime cost. Modification (re-amortize): moderate current + lifetime cost. Repayment plan: highest current cost, lowest lifetime cost. Choice depends on cash flow availability vs long-term preference. Strong earners: repayment plan. Strained: deferment. Balanced: modification.

Credit impact?

Forbearance itself: minimal credit impact (protected under CARES Act, COVID programs). Missed payments in forbearance period: shown as paid on time (per program). Post-forbearance: performance resumes normal credit reporting. If subsequently miss modified payment: credit damage immediately. Stay current post-forbearance.

COVID forbearance context?

2020-2022 COVID forbearance programs covered 8M+ mortgages. Most successfully exited. Options were liberal: deferment + partial claim common (skipped amount added as junior non-interest note repaid at sale/refinance). Helped millions avoid foreclosure. Modern (2024+) forbearance: less flexible, more borrower discipline required. Each lender has specific programs.
