So it would help no one to suspend either one, just kicking the can down the road


Kicking the can is what we need in a time like this...

hat they should do is suspend payments for two months but offer to those who wish to continue to pay that 100% of their payment go towards the principal.


This would be my request as well.

To the OP the 2 sides of the coin would be you now put a cash flow burden on the companies holding the mortgages. The only possibility is you could drastically increase your interest because there will be some companies that will have the loans continue to accrue interest during this time. Which also means it could take longer than 2 payments to pay off the deferred 2 months
