how will forbearance affect my future investment now

Question

if I am currently on forbearance on my home will it affect me on a future investment property  ?  and is forbearance only on your main property

Dave S. · Answer

What if you applied for forbearance and never used it. That should not ding your credit or good standing right?

We waited hours on the phone with our 2 lenders to get setup in March, preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. Turned out we never missed a payment....one of the lenders contacted us about the odds of using it and if it should remain open, we told them to end the program.

Did they modify it to 40 years ?

So I just got off the phone with my lender Bank of America.  They said for my own loan I could get it "Modified" from the current 4.5% rate down to a 2.8% rate.  This sounds pretty good but it would be considered a loan modification.  It's for a loan in California of $700, 000.  That would be a huge savings on my monthly payment.  Now this doesn't sound that bad.

What's the problem with these modifications?  How wil they be looked at when I refinance my multifamily or other commercial loans?

Meet kevin on youtube.  He is a real estate expert said how if you don't pay for 12 months the bank will most probably tack payments to the END of the loan.  Also that the Cares act really protects the mortgagee so it is in some peoples interst to take it.  I would do so and take the reserves to use for rainy day as this could get much much worse.

Thankyou all it seems that it all depends on our individual

The benefit could be several months in cash reserves versus being in more debt.  Especially if theres another spike in covid and this time less stimulus.  We could go 6 months-12months plus of non paying tenants.  then you could wish you got the forebearance and got a mortgage loan modification

It’s one thing if someone absolutely needs a forbearance because they just simply cannot find a way to pay their mortgage. However, he didn’t say that was the case here. He just asked how forbearance will affect him on obtaining future investment properties.

I can pretty much guarantee a future lender is not going to look at it as a big positive if he ends up going with forbearance or getting a loan modification or any sort of loan forgiveness as you suggested.

Best case scenario is he finds a lender who doesn’t penalize him for that, but there certainly isn’t going to be a “huge benefit” when he goes shopping for his next loan and they find out he wasn’t able to make the payments on his current loan or it had to be modified or partially forgiven.

Yours wasnt' fannie or freddie backed like the majority of loans?   Some banks let you do 90 days then keep kicking it 90 more

Susan O. · Answer

Kyle we don't know it might actually be a huge benefit for those who deferred. They might get the chance to have the payment partially forgiven, or a complete loan modification down to sub 3% in rate. We don't know whether it's going to be benefit or not. I'm thinking on gove backed mortgages they will make it very nice for people who had forebearance. Perhaps give 2.5% loan rate or even do a 40 year payment on low interst like 3%  It already seems the government and cares act will do anything to prevent a depression so they'd likely step in and keep people from foreclosure.  I could even see 2% rate and lowering payments with some forgiveness for some home owners...
