Loan Modification: Will You Re-Default?
Do Loan Mods really work? If you've been paying attention, you already know that a high percentage of them do not work. The small amount that does work turns borrowers into underwater, over-leveraged renters for the life of the loan (assuming home values don't return to their former levels in the next 30yrs), who will be unable to sell, re-buy, refi, shop, or save. They turn homeowners into economic zombies. Banks will consider granting a borrower a loan mod only if that borrower has a high probability of keeping up with new payments. Banks can choose to reduce payments in any combination of the following ways: dropping interest rate; extending the life of the loan or term; or decreasing the principle balance owed. Did you know that taking a lose on principle is an option rarely utilized by banks? Loan Mods are really not designed to tamper with the principal. The modification process is designed to keep the unpaid principal balances of the lender's loan intact while re-leveraging the borrower to salvage the note. The Lender has the option to reduce the principal on the note, but they rarely execute that option. Banks tend to start taking a lose on principal into consideration only if the borrower is willing to sell via a short sale.
According to research performed by Barclays Capital (who provides large corporate, government, and institutional clients with a full spectrum of solutions to their strategic advisory, financing and risk management needs), the percentage of borrowers who got a loan mod, and then re-defaulted 10 months later, is high for both current and seriously delinquent borrowers.
Go to the following link to view the chart: Barclays Chart
On the left, we see the re-default rates of homeowners who were current on their loans when they first defaulted (sounds odd, I know, but these tend to be people who can afford their homes but who subsequently ran into economic problems). On the right we see the same thing, only this time with homeowners who were seriously delinquent prior to loan modification. As you would imagine, their re-default rates are considerably higher. These are often the people who could barely afford their home. They typically have the following in common: took out risky mortgages (Option-ARM or Subprime), bought when prices were rising between 2003 to 2007, and borrowed excessively against their home (HELOCs or Home Equity Loans).
Thus it can be concluded that only borrowers who were current, but momentarily fell behind, stand a good chance of becoming a loan mod success story. Although, at the risk of barely getting by in covering all their living expenses for the life of the loan, if their income doesn't increase or their other liabilities doesn't decrease. Doesn't sound like much fun, does it?
