Forbearance done right requires: Educating your borrowers on forbearance The role of 'Sources and Uses of Funds' to select a reasonable restructure How an unreasonable forbearance will harm the bank as much as the borrower Don't forget tax and insurance payments Add a 'relationship' review to your analysis Three questions to ask the borrower every time Recorded in July 2020, the advice continues to be relevant today.
