Keeping your home

Over the past several months, there has been a lot of information available about alternatives to foreclosure:

  — forebearance

  — loan modification

  — short sale

  — deed in lieu

All of these depend on the mortgage lender involved, and on how they make loss mitigation decisions.  The rules of foreclosure, however, are a matter of state law.  Lenders may exercise patience and attempt alternatives before triggering the foreclosure process, but this website does a good job of outlining the steps in a Texas foreclosure, and in providing good general information about some alternatives:
