Mortgage lenders actually don't want to go through the foreclosure process because they aren't in the real estate business and because foreclosure isn't profitable to them. The fact that foreclosed homes are sold at auction means that they almost never bring in the amount that the former owner still owes on the mortgage. They certainly won't being in the amount of money that the former owner would have paid in principal and interest during the life of the loan. Moreover, a mortgage lender is considered to be doing a good job when homeowners are keeping up with their payments, not when it's repossessing homes left and right. The bottom line is that mortgage lenders are very motivated to help people stay in their homes.
