This way in case of “default” we don’t need to go thru foreclosure, or bankruptcy litigation since we already own the property on a sale/leaseback/option arrangement.  

I know PA has a process to go through before you start a foreclosure, but have never seen a requirement to offer a mod.Sure, https://legal-info.lawyers.com/bankruptcy/foreclosures/delay...Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the bank must first wait until the payment is more than 120 days overdue."

There are a couple of things that come to mind, if a payment is missed the lender cares, if the servicer goes out of business or misses a substitution of trustee, the lender cares, if the borrower goes to the lender to try to get removed from the loan (usually to buy another house) the lender cares, if the property gets caught up in a bankruptcy or divorce, the court cares and that means the lender gets involved.

Big concerns are bankruptcies/repossessions and crimes against people/property.
