Homeowners
baffled with various kinds of mortgage situations can hope for a good outcome
with President Obama mortgage relief plan or Making Home Affordable(MHA)
Program, as it is officially known. The MHA program has been a significant
effort of the Obama Administration to provide mortgage relief for people across
the country and to set in motion the housing market recovery.
Can homeowners troubled with underwater
mortgages and unemployment situations hope for help from the administration
through the Obama mortgage relief plan 2013? Homeowners may be helped through
these situations if they manage to find lenders ready to refinance their
mortgages. The administration will subsidize some of this refinancing and give
some non-financial incentives to lenders for taking a chance on such borrowers.
For unemployed struggling borrowers a payment equal to 31 percent of pre-tax
income would be sufficient. This means that if a borrower is depending on unemployment
cheque, the mortgage payment can temporarily be 31 percent of this amount.
Across
the country, mortgage relief or the freedom acquired from mortgage debt has
been brought about through the process of MHA programs; generally through
assumption of a mortgage by another party or through debt repayment. It is
anticipated that the housing market itself would recover through the Obama
Mortgage Relief Plan 2013.
The US government has just declared an extension for this program till December
2015. Earlier it’s availability was limited to December 2013.
There
are different variants under MHA and each is designed to suit a particular set
of mortgage problem. HARP 2.0(Home Affordable Refinance Program 2.0) is one
such program, that comes under MHA, which serves the purpose of providing
refinance solutions to homeowners who are stuck with expensive or underwater
mortgages. It helps homeowners to secure a new, more affordable and more safe
mortgage. HAMP(Home Affordable Refinance Program) is another variant of MHA
that lowers your monthly mortgage payments in order to make them more
affordable and sustainable for the long-term. Only an employed homeowner,
finding mortgage payments unbearable, can take advantage of this program. There
are still more programs under MHA.
