FAQ
What is a loan modification?
A loan
modification is where you ask the lender to change the terms of your
mortgage so your payments can become more affordable. For
example, they could lower your rate to 3%, extend your
term, and/or lower your principal
balance.
Who can receive an loan modification?
Many homeowners are eligible for a loan
modification.
1. If you
have an ARM or high interest rate
2. You have
little to no equity
3. You are
struggling to make payments
4. You are in
foreclosure
5. or You just
want to lower you payment
What
qualifies as a hardship?
Any event that has either reduced your
income or increased your outgoings may qualify as a financial
hardship. This could be a job loss, struggling business,
illness, divorce or simply the fact that your interest rate has
adjusted resulting in unmanageable payments. There is no shame
in not being able to afford your mortgage after the teaser rate
period is over. Lenders know that many people were told that
they could simply refinance to a lower rate before the introductory
teaser rate adjusted upwards.
Do you know what
the most important aspect is in getting a loan modification
approved?
A well
prepared loan modification request package. Most loan
modifications can be approved without any lender negotiation.
However, a professionally prepared package significantly increases
your chances of approval.

foreclosure proceedings.

How long does a loan modification take?
Generally, a modification takes anywhere from
30 to 90 days to complete.
How is a loan
modification different than a forensic mortgage
audit?
A loan modification is where you ask
the lender to change the terms of your mortgage so your payments can
become more affordable. For example, they could lower your
rate to 3% and/or extend your term to 40 years or so.
The forensic mortgage audit is a review of the
mortgage related documents signed by the borrower on the day of
closing. The audit focuses on disclosure violations of federal
law, commissions violations and calculation errors. It does
not modify the loan terms, but it can make it much easier to get
them modified. Especially if you have been denied in the past
or need a principal reduction or do not qualify for the HAMP
program.
Why should anyone
do an audit to lower their payment?
Audits work to lower payments because it gives
power to the homeowner. The lender will now be much more
willing to negotiate with them for better terms now that they have
presented these violations. The homeowner is now in the
driver's seat!
I called my lender and they told me that they
do not do loan modifications. What are my
options?
You normally need to speak to the loss
mitigation department. Please make sure that you have
contacted the correct area.
If you are sure that your lender does not offer
loan modifications under normal circumstances, and your lender
makes at least 30 loans a year, you should consider
getting a Forensic Mortgage Audit to see if you can get special
consideration from your lender.
Will this impact my credit?
No, unlike a
bankruptcy or foreclosure, a loan modification, or attempt to do so,
will not appear on your credit at all. Making late payments on
your mortgage does damage your credit. It is very common for a
successful modification to remove any arrears from your account and
add them to the amount outstanding on the mortgage. This
brings your payments up to date and has a positive effect on your
credit score.
