On May 1, 2010 the Feds announced they were not only going allow but give lenders a incentive to reduce your loan balance to the market value of your home----so now on June 4, 2010 they now state the May program will start in Oct 2010----
This is a 50 billion program to fix a trillion dollar problem.
So the question is, when should you apply for this limited program----NOW---It is first come first serve!!
It will take lenders 4 to 7 months just to get your loan to an underwriter who will order a appraisal and it a fair bet getting a approval will take a another month or two.
The trick is to get in line---take a number.
Soon 48% of all homes with a loan will be underwater----Many areas are more than that that now.
If the lender lowers your loan balance ---your loan payments will follow----
For those of you not now making loan payments----this should put off foreclosure as per the new rules that you must be denied a HAMP mod before they can have a foreclosure sale. I bet an attorney will need to threaten lenders to make all this happen----
For those of you that are now in the walking away process ----Try this ---- You are not making your payments now---Often the attorney fees are less than a one month loan payment. You might not have to move. Dealing with lenders will make most homeowners crazy and most will lose their homes. Lenders hate attorneys—they know too much---can’t threaten nor panic them ----Lenders can’t call the homeowners and threaten them---take so much of the lender’s negotiating tools away.
Of course a lot of this is just my opinion.
If you are making your home loan payments with your savings or withdrawals from 401s or using credit cards as a ATM—you are in a hole---stop digging ---Thinking some magic income wind-fall will solve your problem, is not a logical financial plan.
We can help you plan out a way off this mess caused by a recession and the collapse of the real estate market. We know of an attorney that threatens credit card companies with a lawsuit and often get 25% to 30% reduction in the balance with zip interest, long term payoff and only take about 90 days.
We have been in the modification business for over 10 years.
