Last week Pres. Bush and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson unveiled a plan to stem the tide of foreclosures that are happening at a record pace nationwide. In their plan, mortgage rates are frozen for subprime loans originated and closed from January 1st, 2005 to July 31st 2007. Is it as simple as it seems? Not really,check this out..
If you have an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) that is set to adjust from it's initial term between January 1,2008 and July 31st 2010 AND thtat adjustment will be at least 10% of the current payment AND you have a FICO score below 660 or your score has not increased more than 10% since your loan closed AND your loan to value (loan balance in relation to property value) meets or exceed 97% AND you are current on your mortgage AND not have been more than 60 days late in the previous 12 months THEN you qualify for that freeze.. WHEW!!! That's a lot to digest..
Quoting an article on CNN.com, Sharon Reuss from the Center for Responsible Lending estimates that of the 1.2 million consumers that the White House claims it will help, a mere 7% will qualify for all of the restrictions of the program.. So what can you do?
First of all, you can be proactive about contacting your lender. The banks don't want your house and will work with you (as long as you work with them!) to save your house. Secondly, if you are starting down a bad path financially, contact your local Housing Finance Authority. Across the country, there are HFA's that are allocating personnel and resources to foreclosure prevention counseling.. Finally, contact a realtor. If you know the light at the end of that tunnel is a train, get out of the tunnel!! You can see down the path if you are not going to be able to afford your adjusting payments.. There is no shame or downside to selling your property before getting into a position where you can lose it..
Take the proper steps for YOU to ensure your financial stability & future today.
