Loan Modification Help Center – President Obama Continues to Pass Legislation

The Wall Street Journal reported in July, 2009 that President Obama is now expanding the plan to help the number of borrowers who can refinance their homes.  The administration said that borrowers with mortgages worth up to 125 percent of their home’s value will now be eligible to refinance under its program, up from a 105 percent limit.According to the new plan, borrowers must be current on their mortgages and have loans owned or backed by government controlled mortgage companies Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.  One of the challenges with the government plan is that it does not help those who are in severe circumstances, either behind on payments or facing foreclosure.  The plan does expand the opportunities for those not facing foreclosure to get help, but if you are in the midst of a foreclosure proceeding or if you just received a foreclosure notice, you need some other form of assistance.The government is hoping that by raising the percentage, many more Americans will
be assisted in getting the help they need to stay in their homes.  Recent statistics state that almost 30 percent of American homeowners with mortgages owe more than their homes are worth (according to Economy.com).  The government’s initial plan seems to have fallen short of expectations as only 20,000 people were able to participate in the program, well short of the 4 million it was projected to help.  In fact, as late as April the government was denying there was any need to expand the program.Interest rates have actually been rising of late, making things even more difficult for Americans.  Rates on 30 year fixed rate loans currently average 5.49 percent, up from a recent low of 4.84 percent in April.  Government agents hope that this plan will also lower the overall risk for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by allowing more people to stick with their mortgages and not default.Loan modification attorneys are still working tirelessly, throughout California, to he
lp people renegotiate the terms of their loans and get a better mortgage payment.  While the government is having a hard time with their refinancing program, California loan modification attorneys are spending morning, noon and night keeping people in their homes through California loan modifications.A loan modification renegotiates the terms of your home loan, helping you get lower payments that you can actually pay.  Rather than see your home go through foreclosure and having to move, you can enjoy a new level of financial freedom as well as a renewed outlook on life.  With the unemployment rate in America continuing to rise and the financial future in doubt for many Americans, now may be the time to take advantage of a loan modification.  A loan modification attorney can work with you to get the best deal possible, and make sure that your interests are focused upon.  Lender driven loan modifications focus on the lender’s needs, and even some government progr
ams focus on the government’s bottom line.  A loan modification attorney can represent you and you alone.Visit us at http://www.loanmodificationhelpcenter.org/ or call 800-359-6941.Legal DisclaimerThe information contained herein is provided for general information and advertising purposes only and is not intended to convey a legal option nor legal advice for any particular case or situation.
