12 Month Deferral Mortgage Defined

12MoDef works by setting aside some equity of a home into a trust account for the benefit of the homeowner. The appointed trustee ensures that the mortgage payment is made to the correct lender each month. A monthly statement is given to the homeowner which combines their current mortgage statement and trust account statement. During the payment deferral period, the homeowner has three advantages:

1. keeps more of their income each month
2. guaranteed on-time mortgage payments
3. earns an aggressive rate of interest on the money in the trust account

At the end of the deferral period, the trust account is closed. The borrower is given all of the earned interest and they resume making their mortgage payment.
