there is also the question as to who is left holding the first loss bag?

what is there is mortgage insurance on a loan? If the lender decides to be "generous", they are actually generous at the expense of the mortgage insurers who see their collateral erode fasting than the flood. Could they then deny future claims because the lender voluntarily allowed the borrowers to "default"?

Same would hold true for VA and FHA loans.

As for properties with jr liens, the jr lien holder is going to see the senior lien grow in size directly to the detriment of the junior's position.

RE:"We should be keeping this in mind....most Katrina-area homeowners were given 3 months grace on mortgage payments....that time has now run out, and delinquencies should start to soar:"

What the heck, give them 3 more months...<G>

Actually, if there are too many delinquents, they will start to do that rather deal with the rash of foreclosures.

(then broker a deal with the taxpayers to bail them out) NG.
