The Obama
mortgage relief plan 2013 proposes a variety of programs to help homeowners out of different mortgage
problems. The housing crisis has created mortgage problems by way of negative
equity, unemployment, bad credit rating and such. As a panacea for many such
disconcerting situations, the Obama mortgage relief plan 2013 provides the
following programs:
Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) is meant for
employed but still struggling homeowners. HAMP may lower the homeowner’s monthly
mortgage payments.
Principal Reduction Alternative (PRA) helps when the home is,
currently, worth much less than the amount owed on it. This program helps by
encouraging mortgage servicers and investors to reduce the amount owed on the home.
Second Lien Modification Program (2MP) allows a modification
or principal reduction on the second mortgage as well, if a first mortgage was
permanently modified under HAMPSM and there is a second mortgage on the same
property.
FHA Home Affordable Modification Program (FHA-HAMP) is very useful when a loan is insured or guaranteed by the
Federal Housing Administration (FHA).
USDA’s Special Loan Servicing is very useful when a loan is
insured or guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA)
Section 502 Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program.
Veteran’s Affairs Home Affordable Modification (VA-HAMP) is
very useful when a loan is insured or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA).
Here it should be noted that the insurance or guarantee through
any of the organizations like FHA, USDA or VA, qualifies a borrower to be
eligible for a program offered through that government agency.
President Obama mortgage relief plan has more programs for
the borrowers.
Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives
Program (HAFA) is useful when it’s difficult to afford the
mortgage payment and it's time to transition
to more affordable housing. HAFA provides two
options for transitioning out of a mortgage:
a short sale or a Deed-in-Lieu (DIL) of foreclosure.
Second Lien Modification Program for Federal Housing
Administration Loans (FHA-2LP) is useful when a second mortgage is there and the
first mortgage servicer agrees to participate in FHA Short Refinance.
Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) is for borrowers
who are not behind on their mortgage payments but have been unable to get
traditional refinancing because the value of their home has declined.
FHA Refinance for Borrowers with Negative Equity (FHA Short
Refinance) is for borrowers having mortgages not owned or guaranteed by FHA, VA
or USDA to refinance into more affordable, more stable FHA-insured mortgages.
Home Affordable Unemployment Program (UP) is useful for the
unemployed.
Hardest Hit Fund (HHF) is the provision of funds in aid of
homeowners. State housing finance agencies have used this fund to develop
programs that stabilize local housing markets and help families avoid
foreclosure.
