Behind on Mortgage Payments? Here’s How We Can Help

Falling behind on mortgage payments can be a stressful experience. Life can throw unexpected challenges your way—job loss, medical expenses, or other financial hardships—that make it difficult to keep up with monthly payments. If you're feeling overwhelmed and unsure of your options, know that you're not alone, and there are ways to navigate this challenging situation.

In this article, we'll explore your options for dealing with missed mortgage payments and explain how Skyline Connection can help you find a solution that works for your unique circumstances.

What Happens When You Fall Behind on Mortgage Payments?

When you miss a mortgage payment, your lender will typically begin a process to recover the owed money. Here’s a quick overview of what to expect:

  1. 30 Days Late: You’ll incur a late fee, and your lender will report the missed payment to the credit bureaus, which can negatively impact your credit score.
  2. 60 Days Late: Your lender will attempt to contact you more aggressively. You’ll continue to accumulate late fees, and your credit score will take another hit.
  3. 90+ Days Late: The lender may initiate the foreclosure process. At this stage, your options to avoid losing your home become more limited.

Your Options If You’re Behind on Mortgage Payments

Fortunately, there are several ways to address missed mortgage payments before foreclosure becomes inevitable:

  1. Contact Your Lender
    The first step is to reach out to your lender. Many lenders have hardship programs and may be willing to work with you to adjust your payment plan temporarily. Options may include:
    • Loan modification
    • Forbearance
    • Repayment plans
  2. Refinance Your Loan
    If you have equity in your home, refinancing your mortgage may help lower your monthly payments or consolidate debt. However, this option is only viable if your credit hasn’t been significantly impacted.
  3. Sell Your Home
    Selling your home can help you avoid foreclosure and protect your credit. If you need to sell quickly, working with a cash buyer like Skyline Connection can simplify the process and provide you with the financial relief you need.
  4. Consider a Short Sale
    A short sale involves selling your home for less than the remaining balance on your mortgage. This option requires lender approval and can still impact your credit, but it’s typically less damaging than foreclosure.
  5. File for Bankruptcy
    As a last resort, filing for bankruptcy can temporarily halt the foreclosure process and give you time to reorganize your finances. However, this option has long-term consequences on your credit and should only be considered after exploring all other options.
