Obama has put 75 billion dollars into a loan modification program to prevent between five and six million homes from being taken back by various financial institutions.
Mortgage loan modification will mean that your mortgage payments will be lowered to no more than 31% of your monthly income. This will be achieved by either lowering your interest rate to as little as 2% or extending the term of your loan up to a maximum of 40 years. The new interest rate applied to your mortgage will be locked in place for the next 5 years and will be increased after that by 1% per year until you are back to the original rate.
Loan companies and mortgage providers can currently provide mortgage loan modification to reduce your payment to 38% of your monthly income. The government has subsidized the banks to ensure this now goes down to 31%. There are numerous other incentives offered to the banks by the government to ensure that the majority of mortgage providers take part.
Every year, starting three months after modification payments have been started, there will be $1000 dollars taken off the principle amount, and the government will pay this to the institution instead. Therefore, the institute will not be losing either. It's a win-win situation for both parties involved.
Final Tip: By researching and comparing the best loan modification companies in the market, you will be able to determine the one that meets your specific financial situation, plus the cheaper and quicker options available. However, it is advisable going with a trusted and reputable stop foreclosure specialist before making any decision, this way you will save time through specialized advise coming from a seasoned loan mods advisor and money by getting better results in a shorter span of time. Meaning getting your house out of risk as soon as possible.
