Cash-strapped homeowners can get forbearance from their lender if they act early. This agreement reduces or suspends the mortgage payment for a limited time, giving homeowners a temporary reprieve.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://spokanerealestateandhomes.com/tips-for-homeowners-nearing-foreclosure/"><STRONG>We've said this before, and we say it again now.  Walking away from a mortgage severely damages your credit and is not a good solution.
