Every mortgage company I've ever had has allowed me to pay off the escrow shortage interest-free by increasing the payment each month over 12 months. Does yours not do this? Because it's definitely better to pay it off interest free than to take out a loan to do so.

Yes I believe that’s what they did. They added the escrow shortage over 12 months making our new payment $2250 a month. The escrow shortage is an additional $600 a month on top of the mortgage, new taxes and new insurance rate
