1Opinion of the Court
FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judge:
The Lomas & Nettleton Company (“Lo-mas”) appeals from the decision of the district court, which reversed an order of the bankruptcy court and directed confirmation of the plan of Estel Ray Hougland and Ruth Evelyn Hougland (“Debtors”) under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The district court determined that the claim of a lender on residential real estate could be bifurcated into a secured and unsecured portion, and that the lender’s rights under the unsecured portion could be modified. In re Hougland, 93 B.R. 718 (D.Or.1988). We affirm.
