Loss Mitigation

The process by which a lender and borrower who is behind on his/her mortgage attempt to negotiate a deal that is mutually agreeable to both parties. Some possible avenues of loss mitigation include: loan modification, forbearance, short sale, and deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The earlier the borrower pursues loss mitigation the better, since negotiating a workable deal also becomes more and more difficult as time passes and arrears accumulate. Loss mitigation becomes more difficult when the borrower has multiple mortgages. For example, the borrower may be able to negotiate a loan modification for one loan that is sustainable and affordable. However, if the borrower is also in default on a second mortgage, and the lender is not willing to negotiate, this second lender may still initiate a foreclosure case against the borrower.
