Now, more than ever, there is pressure and oversight, both economical and governmental, for lenders to work with borrowers to avoid foreclosure. HUD guidelines require lenders to certify that they have exhausted loss mitigation options prior to foreclosure. Economically, lenders’ real estate owned (REO) property portfolios present significant holding and marketing costs. Therefore, lenders are loathe to own any more property than they must. A foreclosed REO property is no longer a performing loan, which is what lenders and loan servicers desire. Various levels of government, especially the federal government, have historically pressed lenders to utilize programs such as HAMP and other loss mitigation initiatives through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As our industry witnessed during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, those efforts reached a new high, Beginning with foreclosure and eviction moratoria and essentially forced loan deferments and forbearances. This seminar will cover a few of the existing workout options.
