A loan modification also known as a "Loan Mod" is a change to the terms of a mortgage loan that is agreed to by the bank. The change may be to the interest rate, term of the loan or the total amount owed on the loan. Banks agree to accept loan modifications when borrowers are unable to pay their mortgages as they may be facing some kind of financial difficulty.

Banks agree to loan modifications because they don't want to foreclose. Banks would prefer to work out changes to the loan so that the borrower can resume regular monthly payments. Banks are not interested in owning real estate. They don't want to own your home. Most often they are willing to negotiate a modification. Banks are often agreeable to work with borrowers who have experienced financial hardship.
