How to refinance an underwater mortgage - Alexander J. Chaudhry
There are times when homeowners who wish to refinance their
homes do not get accepted by loaning companies, even with a great credit score
and a clean track record for payment. There are ways to work around such
dilemmas. According to Marsha O’Hare of a HUD-certified housing counselor in
Ohio, it is important to know what kind of loan the homeowner has. A homeowner
is eligible for the Home Affordable Refinancing Program (HARP) of the Obama
administration if the loan is previously owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
This will allow anyone without a delinquent payment record to refinance, even
if the loan owed is more than the amount of the house.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Short Refinance
also provides another option. This is a program extended to all homeowners who
have a good payment record and those who are not behind in their payment and also
to those who owe more money than the worth of their home. The good thing about
this program is that it provides assistance specifically to those homeowners
who do not have a loan covered by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, or FHA. It is
important for lenders to agree that the loan principal will be reduced. By
contacting and coordinating with the mortgage provider, a homeowner may learn
more about his or her eligibility to the program.
If HARP and the FHA program do not work, it is suggested the
homeowner seek legal counsel to learn what other work-around can be done or to
know the other available options to get a lending company to refinance the
house. Legal counsels will be able to provide clients other options based on
the specificity of the type of loan the client has, and what will work best in
the financial situation of the client, as well as what options are available
given the state of payment record and credit scores.
FNC Title Services LLC is a national title services which
provides legal aid to homeowners or firms that have concerns regarding home or
commercial estate settlement. The firm was founded by Ali Farahpour who has
been providing legal counsel on home settlement issues, as well as commercial real
estate issues for the past 20 years.
