Falling behind on a house payment is stressful, and it can feel like the walls are closing in. You are not the first person to be here, and there may be more options than you think.
The most helpful thing you can do is get information early. The sooner you understand your choices, the more of them you usually have.
Common challenges
- Deadlines from your lender can make every week feel urgent.
- You may owe close to, or more than, what the home might sell for.
- Repairs you cannot afford right now may affect how the home sells.
- It can be hard to know whether to keep trying to catch up or to sell.
