d. Modification of a Current Loan (05/09/2022) A Lender may enter into a modification agreement with a Borrower without prior permission from HUD on a Loan that is current. A modification agreement: • requires a written agreement signed by the Borrower; • need not be recorded; • may only decrease the interest rate; • must not advance new funds; and • does not require any further insurance reporting to HUD, but all documentation of the modification must be submitted if an insurance claim is filed.
