Obama’s foreclosure plan- how to qualify
Various governments in the United States have initiated many attempts since the outbreak of the menacing mortgage crises in the year 2006. The latest being Obama’s foreclosure stimulus bill of 2008. The sub prime mortgage crises that began in the weak economies of the Midwest States of America have now engulfed the whole world. The Obama home loan modification policy is meant to provide a helping hand to the unfortunate borrowers who are looking to protect their condos from the threatening foreclosures.
Though the plan is being claimed as an effective solution, it is not all-inclusive. The stimulus package is meant to cover the needs of only nine million American families. The large though still not unlimited funds of about $75 are to be used as incentives to encourage the lenders to alter the loan agreements so as to make the monthly payments more manageable. Here are a few tips that you can use to ensure that your family is one of the 9 million.
Get a legal order to get the loan modification
If your bank or lender in particular, is a part of the plan and is still adamant on not approving a loan modification of your home loan, then you can take the matter to court. The judge would pass a legal order that would rightfully compel your arrogant lender to pass your application for a home loan modification.
Freddie and Fannie borrowers can refinance easily
Freddie Mae and Fannie Mach are reported to have given loans to about 4 to 5 million homeowners. The Obama foreclosure plan has made refinancing easier for these lucky families. These people can further lend their condos at second mortgage rates to get the monthly payments at more ease as compared to the borrowers of other institutions.
Apply to institutions that are under the bailout program
The banks and firms that have been benefited from the bailouts of the government are the ones who are utilizing the taxpayer’s money. Therefore these institutions are bound to provide loan modifications under the stimulus package. So it would be wise to check out this list, which includes Citigroup, Chase and Co., JP Morgan and others and apply to these to better your chances of getting the loan modification approved.
To add finishing touches, Barack Obama’s plan to counter the steeply rising rates of foreclosures is something that has been based upon lessons learnt from similar stimulus bills in the past. It is being speculated that this has really strengthened this latest package. But the citizens who can benefit from the plan are limited. So it is about time you stop reading this article and act fast on the tips!

If you are foreclosed on, should you be called a renter?
I see all of these questions about Obama’s mortgage plan. Hate to say it, but it is throwing money at a problem that they cannot fix. Where in the US Constitution does it say that you should not be a renter?
Many people in the foreclosure mess are there because they put no money down on the house and financed 100% of their loan. They were stretched thing to begin with and a mortgage straddled them with an $1200+ a month mortgage payment, of which $800+ a month goes to just interest.
What is wrong with renting? Why do you want to be a homeowner if you can’t afford repairs, interest, taxes, etc. A leading financial analyst this morning was talking on the radio and said that this is a much better situation for people and he cannot understand why they want to own a home. If you want to own a home, go with something you can afford. Not purchasing a $400,000+ home.
Bob, nothing more to add, you covered it. Thanks for the post.
