Obama Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan
As of April 5th, the Obama Administration is adding a new Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives, HAFA, to its efforts to allow borrowers to avoid foreclosure through short sales or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure option.
An additional 76,000 borrowers have been offered permanent loan mods where the paperwork still has to be signed and returned. The program passed a milestone, with more than one million trial three month loan mods granted, up from 902,620 the month before.
The National Governors Association reports that 33 states and Puerto Rico passed at least 99 new real estate laws in 2009. Sixty seven of the statutes were aimed at foreclosure relief
The Obama Administration’s Home Affordable Program, HAMP, had been heavily criticized for not doing enough to forestall foreclosures, which hit 2.8 million homeowners in 2009.
Treasury Homeownership Preservation Office Chief Phyllis Caldwell stated, “Our focus now is on working with servicers, borrowers and organizations to get as many of those eligible homeowners as possible into permanent modifications.”
“The banks are not doing a good enough job,” according to Michael S. Barr, the US Treasury’s Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions.
Rising unemployment, generally flat or even falling home prices, and impending mortgage rate resets threaten to cast millions more out of their homes with devastating effects on families
Once you’re on a debt settlement plan, stick with it. Now that a new monthly payment is in place for the rest of your consumer debt, you can approach your mortgage lender with a fixed number that will encourage your loan servicer to work with you on reaching the Obama Plan’s 31% HTI.
Short fi’s are for borrowers facing hardship. It would work best in an area where house prices have declined precipitously.
