Mortgage Forbearance Explanation and Warning

The Government has created the CARE Act, to assist homeowners whose income may have been adversely impacted by the coronavirus. One of the components of the CARE Act is the possibility of mortgage forbearance.

Forbearance is often misinterpreted. And while it is intended to help, it can have dangerous repercussions. Many people are mistakenly thinking that forbearance equals forgiveness. It does not.

Forbearance means that the payments will be suspended for a short period of time, initially up to 6 months, but will need to be caught up when the forbearance period is over.

Think about when you buy something that offer "no payments" for 3 months. You still must pay, the payments are just deferred.

Mortgage forbearance can be worse if the homeowner has dug themselves in a deep hole and can't catch up. Should this happen, the lender will enforce their right to be paid, which might cause the property to be foreclosed on.

Forbearance is designed to help those as a measure of last resort. It is not a free pass and may have serious consequences. PLEASE continue to make your mortgage payments if you are able.

Please feel free to call me with any questions.
