This mortgage expert is a senior banking and financial services consultant with over 30 years of experience in mortgage lending and real estate.
This expert has explained that, when servicing loans for other investors, a servicer becomes a fiduciary for the investors' interests. During collections for past-due payments and the foreclosure process, bank and private servicers are generally concerned with the current condition of the property. Borrowers may not always be in the best position to care for a property adequately, and lenders may be aware of that risk. Delays in foreclosure can create extended periods between borrower default and foreclosure by the lender or sale of the property, which can be an unhealthy situation for lenders, homeowners, and the community.

This construction loan expert has deep experience in government lending, including VA lending and the nuances afforded to veterans with one-time close construction loans.

During the pandemic, this expert served a number of lenders with portfolios of stalled construction loans, including FHA and VA loans. That work showed that underlying construction loan documents were often inadequate in defining default and available remedies.
As a result, loan workout and forbearance efforts may be deficient, including breach letters that begin the foreclosure process. This expert has extensive government lending experience nationwide and highly technical knowledge of VA construction lending, including loan workout forbearance to avoid foreclosure or, when necessary, properly foreclose on a partially constructed project.
