Q: Why would the lender modify my loan?
A: Lenders are not in the business of owning houses. They want the borrower to keep making payments even if they have to restructure the loan to make it more affordable. On average, it cost a lender over $15,000 to foreclose on a home and can this process can take up to 8 months. It is in the lenders best interest to do all they can to prevent foreclosures. The government has recently given lenders incentives to complete loan modifications and help prevent foreclosures which, has motivated lenders to offer more loan modifications.
