How to Handle Mortgage Loan Modifications After Forbearance

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued a report that warns of widespread evictions and foreclosures once federal, state, and local pandemic protections come to an end, absent additional public and private action. Over eleven million families are behind on their rent or mortgage payments: 2.1 million families are behind at least three months on mortgage payments, while 8.8 million are behind on rent. Homeowners alone are estimated to owe almost $90 billion in missed payments. Those who are unable to resume payments or reach some other agreement with their lender may be forced to leave their homes through sale or foreclosure. This webinar is geared to mortgage practitioners of all levels.
