 There are many options that you have when your home is in pre foreclosure. Two very popular ones include modifying the existing mortgage and getting on a good repayment plan.

If you have missed several payments due to some type of hardship a bank will work with you to get you back on track. You may have lost your job or are going through a divorce. Call your lender during the pre foreclosure process and see what they can do for you to help you in the situation. If they know you really want to keep your home and you are willing to do everything you can they will work with you to help you keep it.

One method of help during the pre foreclosure process is modifying your existing mortgage. What happens with this technique is that the bank will change the terms of your loan. The changes may be temporary where they reduce the interest rates, change the amount of payment going to the principal, or even extend the lifetime of the loan and add the past due payments on the back of the loan. If your loan is through a big bank your chances of receiving help are much better.

A repayment plan is another way to save your home in the pre foreclosure process. In a case like this, the home owner will pay back the missed mortgage payments over a period of several months. This amount may be added to the monthly payments or act as a new smaller loan. Most lenders will accept this type of agreement to accept the arrearages and allow you to avoid foreclosure.

There are many things you can do in the pre foreclosure process to save your home if you really want to. Always call your lender and find out if they will allow you to modify your existing mortgage or even help you with a repayment plan. These options will be the best for you.
