DEED-IN-LIEU OF FORECLOSURE
DIL allows the Homeowner to voluntarily deed the collateral property to HUD in exchange for a release from all obligations under the mortgage. Homeowner Benefits Although this option results in the Homeowner losing the property, it is often preferable to foreclosure because: Homeowner mitigates the cost and emotional trauma of foreclosure Homeowner is eligible to receive up to $2,000 incentive payment Deed-in-Lieu is generally less damaging than foreclosure to Homeowners ability to obtain credit in the future Servicer Benefits Avoids the time and expense of a legal foreclosure action, and Due to the cooperative nature of the transaction, the property is generally in better physical condition at acquisition
