Part 1: Questions and Answers for Borrowers about the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan

Borrowers Who Are Current on Their Mortgage Are Asking:

1. What help is available for borrowers who stay current on their mortgage payments but have seen their homes decrease in value?

I have been getting many questions recently on loans. The most common questions I am hearing are, "Can I qualify for a loan" and "Can I buy a home with less than 20% down" - the answer is YES.

With all the news and hype about the housing market and loan industry its no wonder it seems like loans are impossible but it’s simply not true. Below is some information that should get you heading in the right direction.

I just read an article released yesterday that Fannie Mae will suspend foreclosures until January 2009 while the streamlined modification program is implemented.

The government expects only 20,000 borrowers that are in trouble to refinance by next fall under a new Mortgage aid program passed by lawmakers over the summer. The “Hope for Homeowners" program was launched on October 1st 2008. So far the results are 42 applications and no loans approved yet.

The problem is that the lawmakers expect the Lenders to take a loss down to 85% of the current appraised value. Lenders are finding it cheaper to do workouts with the borrowers then to sign up for this program.

Didn’t we drive around just a few years ago and see all these “starter castles" popping up all over the place? It always amazed me that these BIG homes were popping up all over plus they had a Hummer or two in the driveway. What do all these people do I wondered?

The $700-billion financial industry bailout we have been hearing so much about became law Friday. While the new program could make a recession a little softer of a blow, and potentially even shorter, it will not stop the economic and housing downturns in their tracks, according to most economists.
