If you are a homeowner and are having a hard time making your mortgage payment, you may have options. For example, you may be able to refinance your mortgage. However, refinancing is not available to everyone. In order to refinance your mortgage, you usually need good credit. If you missed one or more mortgage payments, your credit history may have been affected, and you may not be able to refinance your mortgage.
If you want to lower your mortgage payment, a mortgage modification may help you. A mortgage modification can lower your mortgage payment in a few different ways. For example, a modification that includes a rate reduction will lower your interest rate. This will lower your monthly payment. A term extension extends the amount of time you have to pay back your mortgage. Since your mortgage is divided up over a longer period of time, your payment decreases. A principal reduction, though less common, occurs when a mortgage company agrees to reduce the total amount that is owed (not including taxes, fees or interest). These are just a few of the ways that a mortgage modification can work to lower your mortgage payment.
