Compare the paths

Which Option Might Fit Your Situation?

Every situation is different. Use this as a starting point — then let's talk it through together.

Keeping the property

Advantages: Stay in your home and preserve long-term equity.

Limitations: Requires resolving the underlying hardship and affording ongoing costs.

Best when: When the hardship is temporary and the home is affordable long-term.

Working with your mortgage servicer

Advantages: Forbearance, a loan modification, or a repayment plan may be available.

Limitations: Approval isn't guaranteed and depends on your loan and circumstances.

Best when: When you can resume or restructure payments with your servicer's help.

HUD-approved housing counseling

Advantages: Free or low-cost guidance from an approved counselor.

Limitations: A counselor advises — they don't decide for you or your lender.

Best when: When you want independent guidance before deciding.

Traditional property sale

Advantages: Market price and a broad buyer pool.

Limitations: May involve repairs, showings, and an uncertain timeline.

Best when: When you have time and the home is market-ready (or can be).

Direct investor purchase

Advantages: As-is sale, clear timeline, no repairs or showings.

Limitations: Price reflects an investor transaction, not a full-market listing.

Best when: When you need certainty, speed, or a sale without repairs.

Other professional assistance

Advantages: Legal, tax, or financial guidance tailored to your situation.

Limitations: May involve fees and timelines; choose a qualified professional.

Best when: When legal, tax, or financial complexity requires expertise.
