Hello All,
Here we are already in the 4th quarter of the year. The year is setting up to be a record-breaking year for the mortgage industry. 2020 has certainly been a wild ride and October looks to continue the craziness…. President Trump recovering from COVID, Senate confirmation hearings for a new Supreme Court Justice, Fears of fall resurgence of COVID, Congress grappling over a new stimulus bill, oh and let’s not forget an election that is now less than 30 days away. October will be interesting.
The COVID 19 Pandemic is affecting many homeowners in our State. The Minnesota Homeownership Center has several resources for folks struggling to make housing payments due to the pandemic. When a member is contacted by a borrower that is having trouble making monthly mortgage payments, the borrower should be instructed to contact their servicer about a forbearance, loan modification or other type of repayment plan. If the mortgage is not federally backed, they may be eligible for Minnesota’s COVID-19 Housing Assistance Program. The borrower should contact the Minnesota Homeownership Center at 651-659-9336 or at MN Homeownership Center. MN COVID-19 Housing Assistance Program
