FHA Borrowers Now Eligible for Loan Modification Programs

Posted 04:42 PM July 31, 2009

Las Vegas, NV -- Loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration will be eligible for payment reductions similar to the Obama administration's loan modification program. Effective Aug. 15, financially troubled homeowners who have an FHA-insured loan can apply for a modification under the new FHA-Making Home Affordable Loan Modification Program

The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, signed into law on May 20, allows FHA to reduce monthly mortgage payments for qualified borrowers. The new program will cut payments to 31 percent of gross monthly income by deferring repayment of up to 30 percent of unpaid mortgage principal using an interest-free subordinate mortgage that is not due until the first mortgage is paid off.

Posted 11:42 PM July 30, 2009

Las Vegas, NV -- Are you looking for a way to lower your mortgage payments to be able to keep your home. Many Homeowners accross the country are looking for a way to lower their mortgage payments, so your are not alone. Your answer to what you are looking for could be a Mortgage Loan Modification. A Las Vegas Loan Modification is an agreement that is made by the lender to allow the homeowners to make a lower mortgage payment. The lender may change interest rates, loan terms, loan balances, or other parts of the loan agreement. A loan modification is not a new loan but the same loan, modified to a new lower payment. 
 
You might be wondering, Do I qualify for a loan modification? If you are behind on your payments, you could be asking yourself if it's to late to try to do a lon modification. The answer is you will never know until you actually apply for a loan modification.

You will need to qualify for a loan modofication. Each lender will have their own seperate qualifications but here is what the majority are looking for to accept a Loan Modification.

  • You must have endured a hardship. A hardship can include loss of job, reduction in pay, medical illness, costly medical bills, a  significant interest rate increase on an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM).
  • Your ability to afford a reasonable lower monthly payment.  You will have to prove to your lenderthat you will be able to afford the modified payment.
  • Supporting documentation, including W-2's, current credit report, pay stubs, federal income tax returns, bank statements, and so on.

    Your Lender will determine if you qualify based on your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) - your monthly debt payments divided by your gross monthly income. The front-end ratio covers only your monthly house payment including anything you pay into escrow. The back-end ratio consists of all your debt payments- This includes your house payment, car payment, credit card payments, and any ather debts you might have. FHA recommends that your back-end ratio not exceed 43 percent and your front-end ratio not exceed 31 percent of your gross income, although your lender might have different guidelines.

    Las Vegas Loan Modification Frequently Asked Questions

    Posted 06:51 PM July 08, 2009

     

    Frequently Asked Questions:

     Q: What is a Loan Modification?

     A: A loan modification is an agreement that is negotiated with your current lender that changes the terms of your current loan.


    Q: Am I Eligible for a Las Vegas Loan Modification?
    A: Here is the criteria Lenders use to determine your eligibility:
    1.  Hardship - Has there been a hardship and has it been resolved? What has changed? Why are you asking for a Loan Modification? Is your hardship typical or extreme? Why should the bank help you? Was your Hardship born out of your own irresponsibility, or what is outside of your control. Take great care in crafting your Hardship Letter -- this is a very important piece of the file.
    2.  Ability to Pay - Default rates on loan modifications are high, can you make the modified payment?
    3.  Net Cash Flow - Lenders are looking for a cash flow in the range of 95-105% of income, such that once the loan is modified, you will be in a good position (to keep paying the loan).
    4.  Fixed vs Adjustable - Adjustable rates, especially those that have adjusted, or are about to adjust, are easier to get modified than fixed rates.
    5.  High vs Low Rate - Easier to get a high rate modified, than it is a low rate.

    Q: How long does the entire process take?

    A:The process for a loan modification can vary greatly. All the factors of your specific case can make a huge difference. We have seen them take as short as 1 month but also as long as 6 months. It could be longer depending on your specific situation. Every lender has different procedures that can greatly impact the time it takes. Since a Loan Modification can possibly be time consuming it is in your best interest to take the correct initial steps to avoid any additional delays.

    Q: Can the lender include late charges in the Loan Modification?

    A: Per HUD, the accrued late charges should be waived by the lender at the time of the loan workout-this varies depending on the type of loan-but always request a complete breakdown and description of all fees and penalties from your lender.

    Q: Can my missed payments be added back into my new loan modification?

    A: Absolutely, the arrears can be added to the new loan balance and spread out over the term to allow the loan to be brought current.

    Q: Do I have to be currently delinquent on my payments to get a loan modification?

    A: Most lenders are now accepting applications from homeowners who are not currently delinquent, but who are able to prove to their bank that due to imminent interest rate increases, they will no longer be able to afford the loan payment under the terms of their loan. It is advisable to contact your lender as soon as possible to start the loan modification process, regardless of if you are delinquent or not.

    Q: I have a prepayment penalty. Will I have to pay it to receive assistance?

    A: In 99% of the cases we will get the lender to waive prepayment penalty. This alone will save you thousands of dollars on your home. You will also not incur a prepayment penalty when the process is completed.

    Q: What is an acceptable Hardship situation?

    A: Each homeowner has a unique set of circumstances that caused them to fall behind on their home loan, but generally the lenders consider divorce/separation, loss of income, death of spouse, co borrower or family member, illness, job relocation, military service to be acceptable reasons to consider a loan modification. A compelling hardship letter included in your application is a very important part of a successful application.

    Q: How will this affect our credit?
     
    A: Our process will not affect your credit. We as a company and during our process do not pull a credit report for you because your fico score is not an issue. However your lender may choose to pull a credit report on you in some cases to insure your debts listed in the application are accurate.

    Q: What Do You Do That I Can't Do?

    A: Just as you would hire a professional to put in a new patio, or a new roof, it can be wise to hire a professional to handle your case. Just because you can do something yourself, doesn't mean that you should. Although we encourage every Homeowner to do what they can to save their home and keep their finances in tact, the majority of our clients have already tried to get a Loan Modification done...that's why they are calling us. After 3 months, two dozen phone calls, half as many faxes, a different person on the line every time, and hours on hold...they either give up, or the modification they are offered isn't a modification at all.

    Q: Do You Pre-Qualify Files Before Acceptance?

    A: Of course. We always "pre-qualify" files before requesting the documentation necessary to move forward.  It doesn't do any good to work 90 days on a file, only to refund the fee. In every case, LVLMS. receives $0 if the Loan Mod is not completed.  We have a 100% Money-back Guarantee on every file! So, yes, it is in everyone's best interest to execute full due diligence in accepting new cases.

    Q: What is the cost for a Loan Modification?

    A: Usually, its the second or third question, after "What is a loan modification?" or "Am I eligible for a Loan Modification?" But it may just be the very first question on a Homeowner's mind. Ater all, they are struggling just to make their payment. Our goal is to keep costs as low as possible. We have very aggressive pricing, payment options, and a 100% Money-Back Guarantee.
