Keep your home
If keeping the house is what you want, that's where you start. You'll see whether it's realistic and who can help you, for example:
- Catching up on what you owe (lenders call it "reinstatement").
- A loan modification, which means the lender changes your loan terms so payments fit.
- A repayment plan or a pause on payments ("forbearance").
- A HUD-approved housing counselor, who helps for free.
