Obama’s
mortgage relief plan has some thoughtfully designed proposals, that can help
overcome even some distressing underwater situations. The recent announcement
of an extension for all modification and refinance options should hopefully
propell more lenders to actively participate in this plan. So gather records
detailing your mortgage, your current and past financial situation and the
possible reasons for your financial difficulty. Then proceed to take action. More
than a million homeowners have already been helped by the Obama mortgage relief
plan. This plan is better known as MHA(Making Homes Affordable) program.
The
Obama’s Mortgage Relief Plan Has A Variety Of Programs To Help Homeowners Out Of Different Mortgage
Problems. The More Prepared You Are With These Programs, The Faster You Can Get
Help
Home
Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), a module of MHA, is for borrowers who are
not behind on their mortgage payments but have been unable to get traditional
refinancing because the value of their home has declined. HARP has been
formulated to help you get a new, more affordable, more stable mortgage. This
program is unique because normally lenders do not refinance underwater
mortgages. With HARP, even for underwater mortgages a new loan plan can be
within reach. To benefit from this particular Obama mortgage relief plan, you
require a loan application and underwriting process. Also keep in mind that refinance
fees will apply.
Second
Lien Modification Program for Federal Housing Administration Loans (FHA-2LP) is
useful when a second mortgage is there and the first mortgage servicer agrees
to participate in FHA Short Refinance. You many be eligible for this Obama
mortgage relief plan if you can qualify for FHA Short Refinance and if you
obtained your mortgage on or before January 1, 2009. FHA Refinance for Borrowers
with Negative Equity (FHA Short Refinance) is for borrowers having mortgages
not owned or guaranteed by FHA, VA or USDA. If you have been regular on your
mortgage payments but owe more than your home is worth, this Obama Mortgage Relief Plan may
be an option that your mortgage servicer will consider.
Apart
from refinancing options, loan modification options are also included into MHA.
Home Affordable Modification Program(HAMP) is quite popular with borrowers when
it comes to loan modification. Obama’s mortgage relief plan has tried to bring
the benefit of refinancing and modification to maximum number of homeowners.
When refinancing is opted for, borrowers look for a new, low cost plan to manage
a regular monthly saving. When modification is sought, the existing lender is
approached to modify the loan plan for a similar effect. The amount saved can either
be invested for a worthwhile project or can be utilized to pay-off debts.
