In conjunction with the government’s new program called Making Home Affordable, lender Fannie Mae now offers the Desktop Underwriter (DU) Refi Plus Program. This home mortgage refinancing program hopes to prevent unnecessary foreclosures by lowering monthly mortgage payments for millions of eligible homeowners.
What It Means For You
Mortgage rates are now at a record low. Through refinancing, Americans can take advantage of these low rates and reduce their monthly payment. This will generate more monthly cash flow for millions of families across the nation; the government hopes this will spark spending and help to boost the economy.
Another goal of the DU Refi Plus Program is to help at-risk homeowners stabilize their finances. This means that Fannie Mae and other lenders will now turn riskier loans, such as Adjustable-Rate Mortages (ARM), into more stable loans, such as Fixed-Rate Mortgages (FRM).
Fewer Restrictions Than Before
The DU Refi Plus Program will ease the economic burden that millions of Americans face. One way to do this is simply by offering financial assistance to homeowners who were previously ineligible. Under the new DU Refi Plus Program, Fannie Mae reduces eligibility restrictions and requires fewer documents to apply.
Previously, Fannie May required applicants to show two current pay stubs as income verification. Under the DU Refi Plus Program, applicants can show only one current pay stub. On certain loans, Fannie Mae will now waive appraisals. Previously, Fannie May would not handle loans over 80% of your home’s market value. Now, applicants may have a loan-to-value (LTV) between 80-105%. Fannie May will now accept applicants with a credit score less than 580, if their LTV is 80% or less.
Program Terms and Conditions
Though Fannie Mae will now help more homeowners than ever before with DU Refi Plus, there are still certain restrictions that apply.
Loans must be owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae. Any existing subordinations must to be re-subordinated. Limited cash-out refinancing (less than 2% of loan, or $2,000).
You are ineligible for the DU Refi Plus Program if you have:
made a payment more than 30-days late within the past year; an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage with fixed terms less than 5 years; an interest-only mortgage; a balloon mortgage; a HomeStyle Renovation mortgage; a MyCommunityMortgage (MCM); a Texas 50(a)(6) mortgage.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Filed Under Home Loan Mortgage | Leave a Comment
Chad Fisher asked:
Too much credit card debt? Behind on your mortage payments? If you are getting buried by personal debt, then it’s probably time to consider your options. Filing for bankruptcy is a way out, but it’s important to explore your options with a licensed bankruptcy attorney before you make any final decisions.
There is a lot of paperwork involved with filing for bankruptcy. While you could surely try to do all the paperwork yourself, you should know that if you miss a document or a deadline you may jeopardize your ability to actually file for bankruptcy and receive all the rights accorded that process.
If you go to a lawyer it will be useful to bring your tax statements for the last couple years. In addition if you have a credit report handy or have recently received one, it would be a good idea to bring that as you need it eventually for your filing.
In a Chapter 13 filing some of your personal property may be exempt from filing. You may be able to keep your house or your car outside of any payback agreement with a trustee. This is important, so make sure to ask your bankruptcy lawyer with type of bankruptcy you qualify for - Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
You will need to make some payments on old debts, but many debts that are unsecured may be able to be forgiven, which will greatly help your personal situation. If you are tired of receiving calls from collection companies at all hours of the night, then consider bankruptcy - it is a helpful option and can get you on your feet in no time.

Ki Gray asked:
The White House has recently unveiled a plan to help mitigate the wave of foreclosures that have recently swept the US as reports continue to predict that an even greater number (some estimate as much as 2 million) of Americans are likely to default within the next year.
This plan involves the major US lending companies making an agreement to freeze the relatively low “teaser” interest rates that many Adjustable Rate Mortages are set up with, instead of allowing them to reset at their regular time, usually two years from the loan’s issue.
These subprime loans have an artificially low introductory rate of between 7 and 9 or more after the grace period, which many real estate owners have been unable to cope with in recent months, sending shockwaves through global markets as investors in mortage-backed securites have been spooked. As their loans have defaulted, the bonds that have been repackaged and sold have become basically worthless.
Bush’s talks with mortage companies have been concerned with solving both aspects of this problem by extending the introductory rates to a select cross-section of subprime borrowers, thus preserving some of the cashflow supposedly guaranteed to those investors who believed the AAA bond rating for the securities into which these mortages have been sold off. Since the cost of a forclosure is often over $50,000, the investors have little choice if they want to salvage any of their investment.
However, the standards used to judge which borrowers qualify for the rate freeze have been left (some say intentionally) vague. They have stated that those who are already in danger of default will be given no assistance, as well as those who can afford to pay their mortages at the increased rates. What is unclear is how the lenders will determine who is able to pay.
Those who fall into the middle bracket, or who are likely to default at some point if rates increase but who are able to make their payments now, are the targeted borrowers for the freeze, which is proported to last from two to five years past the date at which the rate would normally reset. Therefore, some foreclosures are still guaranteed, but the specter of falling property values, which threaten to send the entire US economy into a tailspin, will hopefully be offset somewhat.
Many economists have recognized the mortage-related woes as a necessary reassessment of the American economy. In combination with the falling dollar, recent developments in this crisis make it clear that the housing market of the US has artificially inflated for years, which would have to be corrected somehow anyway. And, while this scenario is relatively unpleasant, the US has had unsustainably high levels of consumer spending, coupled with the lowest percentage of consumer saving in three decades.
These statistics point towards a reckless tendancy of many Americans to spend because the economy will always grow. While this assumption has helped industrialize the world through American spending, it may do harm in the long run. With any luck, the real estate landing will be softened and Americans will be more apt to work with their lenders. If not, it may just encourage more recklessness by the government’s taking responsibility for the market’s woes. Only time will tell.
