Over the past three years Americans homes’ have lost tremendous amounts of equity and many now have “underwater mortgages”. An underwater mortgage is when the value of the home has dropped below the mortgage balance owed.
There are several programs, some being more effective than others, that were implemented by our government and lenders own programs to deal with the growing underwater home loan problem.
Refinance Any LTV/CLTV for borrowers upside down in value…but still current on payments
I wanted to provide some information regarding our DU/LP relief refinance program, HARP 2.0. This program is widely used throughout the country and has some key benefits to us here in Florida.
- Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)
- Short Sale
- FHA Short Refinance Program
- Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP)
We are currently participating in the HARP refinance program for home loans that are serviced by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. This program has the highest success rate for underwater homeowners with Fannie or Freddie Loans.
If you no longer want to keep your home contact us to see if you will qualify for a short sale.
Starting September 7th we will also be accepting FHA Short Refinance applications from borrowers who have negative equity and are current on their mortgages. Borrowers’ lenders must accept a 10% discount or short payoff to qualify for this program. Loans can be serviced by any lender as long as they are not FHA insured loans.
We no longer participate in the loan modification program but do have a separate website to assist consumers in making a decision on which option is best for their situation.
