Common questions about loan and mortgage forbearance

Please watch the video and read the FAQ below to educate yourself on loan forbearance. A forbearance can provide immediate relief in a time of a COVID related emergency and is certainly an option to consider. However, borrowers should normally only request a forbearance if there are no other alternatives.


A: Those who are directly or indirectly impacted by COVID-19. If the reason for your request is due to another concern we have other programs available to help.

A: If you have been financially impacted by COVID-19, different solutions are available depending on the investor of your mortgage. Contact us and we can explain your forbearance options. A mortgage forbearance is an agreement between you and your mortgage servicer that lets you stop making payments on a temporary basis during your hardship.

It's important to note that mortgage forbearance is not mortgage forgiveness, meaning you still have to pay back what you owe.

A: The repayment options may vary depending on who your mortgage investor is. A representative from our team will reach out to you 30-60 days prior to the end of your forbearance term to discuss all repayment options.

A: A balloon payment is a lump sum payment of an amount due. As an example, if the forbearance period is for 3 months and each monthly payment is $3,000 the balloon payment due at the end of the forbearance period is $9,000.00.
