    payments by over 30 percent.
  • About a quarter of borrowers who received permanent loan modifications during the quarter had portions of their mortgage
    balance forborne.
  • As of June 30, 2014, about 13 percent of loans modified in the second quarter of 2013 had missed two or more payments, one year after modification.
  • Approximately 14,500 short sales and deeds-in-lieu were completed during the quarter, bringing the total to about 581,400
    since the start of conservatorships.
