FHFA Extends Mortgage Forbearance Length, Eviction Moratoriums
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has once again extended its COVID-19-related relief efforts. This time, the changes come twofold: First, by drawing out mortgage forbearance options by at least three months, and second, by pushing back the foreclosure moratorium on GSE-backed properties through March 31. For many property owners, the updates will come as a welcome surprise -- especially those who are struggling to pay their mortgage or dealing with nonpaying tenants in their rental property.
