Examples
The government could have bought up distressed loans and modified them to prevent foreclosures, something accomplished during the Great Depression through the Home Owner’s Loan Corporation (HOLC).
The typical borrower whose loan was refinanced by the HOLC was more than 2 years behind on payments of the loan and more than 2 years behind on making tax payments on the property.
HOLC was only applicable to nonfarm homes, worth less than $20,000.
Loan Repayments and Foreclosure Policies Between 1933 and 1935 the HOLC made slightly more than one million loans.
The HOLC eventually foreclosed on 20 percent of the loans that it refinanced.
The HOLC loans were typically amortized, so that there were equal payments each month on the loan.
