It reflects poorly on a bank to have real-estate in its portfolio of assets. When a borrower is performing well on their mortgage installments, the Asset in the banks portfolio is a performing mortgage. When a mortgage stops performing the first course of action is to get the mortgage reperforming.

The situation will be assessed to determine the best course of action for reperformance.

The loan may be recast so that the payment will be reduced but it will take longer to pay off.

A portion of the monthly mortgage payment might be deferred to the back of the loan balance. Ex. $1000 payment reduced to $800 (the amount owed on the loan increases by $200)

The interest rate on the mortgage may be reduced to get the note to reperform. (It's not uncommon for banks to sell their notes to other banks. Imagine that Bank of America has made a profit off of a note after a few years. The debt could be 180K, but considering the profit they've made off the note, they might sell it to another bank for 160K. So the new bank buys 180K of debt for 160K, and when they look at their books, they see that they are making 8% annual yield off the note when your interest rate on paper is 6%. so it's not unlikely that the bank is able to reduce the interest rate to get the note to reperform.)

Foreclosure proceedings. The homeowner has an equitable right of redemption. The bank needs to be sure they can repossess the house and in order to do that legally they must foreclose the homeowner's equitable right of redemption.

What happens to a mortgage after bankruptcy depends on whether or not the debt is reaffirmed.
