Record-low mortgage rates make refinancing (or re-refinancing) look tempting
With mortgage interest rates setting record lows almost every week for more than two months, two questions naturally come to mind: How low can they go? And should I refinance — again?
Mortgage Refinance Process Grows in Time, Complexity

Going to try the Home Affordable Modification Program Trial Period do I need to try & pay my past due payment?

I am entering into a Home Affordable Modification Program – The trial period is 3 months and then if I make my payments timely it will become permanent. Right now I am one payment behind in my mortgage. If I am not able to catch up that payment, will it be added to the balance of the loan? This is what the paperwork says “Any difference between the amount of the trial period payments and your regular mortgage payments will be added to the balance of your loan along with any other past due amounts as permitted by your loan documents.” Does that sound like they will just add it?
I know I can’t have one month free, just wanting to know if I need to try and come up with the payment before I enter into this Modification Agreement or not.

Yes it will be added. You are not entitled to have the house for a month for free.

The Feldman Law Center – Home Loan Modification Scams

The Feldman Law Center – Home Loan Modification Scams

There is a lot of talk today about unfair loan modifications. In this economy, mortgage loan modification is a good option for many people struggling to repay their debts, but reports of predatory modification companies have some homeowners afraid to act. Some individuals have been taken advantage of, particularly in the California loan modification scams, by companies who take their money and provide no results. With the help of qualified, respected attorneys like those at Feldman Law Center, however, home loan modifications can save borrowers from a lifetime of unmanageable debt.

There are many options for loan modification, and it is wise to seek out the best possible loan modification advice. For example, you may be wondering about federal loan modification law. The FDIC loan modification program may be able to help you, but it may not. Unethical modification companies may not tell you about all of your options, preferring instead to make empty promises and return nothing. The attorneys at Feldman Law Center, however, know exactly which homeowners can be helped by federal loan modification and will gladly recommend government assistance if that is what is right for your situation. More likely, however, you will need to consider other options, as the FDIC’s loan modification program promises help to only to a specific segment of homeowners.

If you are struggling to make ends meet and saddled with unrealistic payments, principle reduction, rate reduction, or another form of modification to your loan may be possible without federal assistance. This indeed ought to be a key indicator of the trustworthiness of any loan modification company. It is crucial to examine your own specific situation to determine what kind of help would be most beneficial to you. Any company that charges an unwieldy up front fee with no apparent concern for your circumstances is likely to cause more harm than good. Do not enter into any loan modification agreement with anyone unless you understand precisely how they will help, and they have demonstrated their ability to negotiate specifically on your behalf. The loan modification process can be frightening, but it is possible to find debt relief in many situations. Another key to avoiding unethical or untrustworthy loan modifications is to pay attention to what you are being promised. Any company that can claim to be able to get you a specific rate reduction or to reduce your principle by a specific amount before judging your circumstances or negotiating with your lender cannot be telling the truth. Without speaking to a lender about a specific loan, it is impossible to know how much can reasonably be promised in the way of principle reduction or interest rate reduction.

Hardship modification has become necessary for many people, and finding a trustworthy loan modification attorney can be very tricky. You can, however, place your trust in the Feldman Law Center. Our loan modification programs can provide you with help to get your debt back under control. Unlike the predatory loan modification companies, we will not take any action that does not benefit you. With loan modification help from our experienced attorneys, your unrealistic payments could become a thing of the past. Visit us at www.feldmanlawcenter.com or call 800-588-0425.

FDIC Insurance Limits and Indymac Bank Loan Modifications

Is the 31% income debt ratio only for the President Obama plan?

I was under the impression that your mortgage payment could not be more than 31% of your income. My mortgage company just told me that is only true if you qualify for the President Obama plan! I can’t believe it is this true. They are offering me a loan modification that is 42% of my income. It just isn’t low enough.

Watch out for scams, they are still out to get your money.*

Si mi hipoteca no está respaldado por Fannie o Freddie, ¿existen otros programas o cualquier refinanciación modificada EXISTEN?

Mi Banco Hipotecario de América. Me dijeron hoy que no reunía los requisitos para Obama "Hacer viviendas a precios razonables", porque mi programa préstamo no ha sido respaldada por Fannie Mae o Freddie Mac. He leído que hay alternativas a este programa si su préstamo está garantizado por una otra compañía, pero no encontré nada sobre ella. Actualmente estoy en mis pagos, el valor de mi casa se ha reducido desde que lo compré, el principio de equilibrio es poco más de 105% del valor actual, y hace seis meses, mi esposa empezó a trabajar unas 20 horas menos a la semana. ¿Soy elegible para cualquier tipo de préstamos modificados hipoteca o refinanciar la cual es apoyada por el gobierno?

Usted necesita preguntarle a B de A que usted es elegible para los programas. No sabemos lo que sus ingresos, número de crédito, etc, serán capaces de decirle.
