Is traditionally not considered a mortgage modification?

A traditional mortgage modification typically involves changing the terms of an existing mortgage, such as the interest rate, payment schedule, or loan duration, to make it more manageable for the borrower. However, actions like refinancing or simply paying off a loan early are not considered modifications, as they do not involve altering the original loan agreement. Instead, they represent separate financial transactions. Therefore, anything that does not involve adjusting the existing mortgage terms is traditionally not deemed a modification.

Will private mortgage insurance help make payments if in default?

No, private mortgage insurance (PMI) does not help make payments if a borrower defaults on their mortgage. Instead, PMI protects the lender by covering a portion of the losses if the borrower fails to repay the loan. It is typically required for loans with a down payment of less than 20%, ensuring the lender has some financial security in case of default. However, it does not provide any direct financial assistance to the borrower.
