Common Situations We Help With

💼

Sudden Layoff

You were laid off unexpectedly and are now 1–4 months behind on your mortgage with no new income yet.

📉

Reduced Hours / Pay Cut

Your employer cut your hours or salary and your mortgage payment now exceeds what you can afford each month.

🏢

Business Closure

Your self-employed business closed or revenue dropped sharply, eliminating the income you relied on to pay your mortgage.

🔄

Industry Disruption

A sector-wide downturn, seasonal work gap, or contract ending has left you without stable income and behind on payments.

⏱️

Waiting on New Job

You have a new job lined up but the gap in income has caused you to fall behind and you need time to catch up.

🤝

Spouse Lost Income

Your household relied on two incomes and your spouse's job loss has made the mortgage unaffordable on one salary alone.

Your Options — All at No Cost Through HOAP

  • Loan Modification — We negotiate with your servicer to permanently lower your rate, extend your term, or defer missed payments so your monthly payment becomes affordable again.
  • Forbearance Agreement — Temporarily pause or reduce your payments for 3–12 months while you find new employment, with no foreclosure action during that period.
  • Repayment Plan — Spread your missed payments over 12–24 months added on top of your regular payment — keeps you in your home without a lump-sum catch-up.
  • Quick Cash Sale — Sell to a vetted cash buyer in 7–21 days with no repairs, no listing, and no commissions. Stop foreclosure and walk away with cash.
  • Short Sale — If you owe more than the home is worth, sell with lender approval and have the remaining balance forgiven — far less credit damage than foreclosure.
  • Foreclosure Defense — Access licensed foreclosure attorneys through HOAP at no out-of-pocket cost. Legal representation at mandatory settlement conferences buys critical time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Lenders regularly approve loan modifications for homeowners who have experienced job loss or income reduction. HOAPnet negotiates modifications at no cost through the HOAP program, including for homeowners who have been previously denied.
Federal law generally prohibits lenders from starting foreclosure until you are 120 days (4 months) delinquent. New York also requires a 90-day pre-foreclosure notice. Act immediately — earlier action always means more options and better outcomes.
Yes. If you are collecting unemployment, you may still qualify for a loan modification, forbearance, or repayment plan. Many lenders consider unemployment income as part of your financial picture. HOAPnet knows how to present your case effectively.
Forbearance is a temporary pause or reduction of your payments, typically 3–12 months. It stops the foreclosure clock while you stabilize. After forbearance ends, a repayment plan spreads the missed amount over time. HOAPnet negotiates forbearance at no cost.
