A loose mix of Government relief programs come into focus:
A number of homeowners programs have been created in the past year by our Government to help struggling homeowners. Barack Obama has continued what has worked with these plans and tried to add support to what has not worked in his all ecompassing foreclosure relief plan called "making home affordable". There are three primary programs that are covered in this current homeowners bailout package.
Homeowners Affordability Plan
Hope Now Program
Hope for Homeowners Program
Below are the general principals of President Barack Obama's $75 billion plan to make the above programs more stable and efficient.
4 basic components in the homeowners bailout plan:
1: Remove restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that prohibit the institutions, both taken over by the government last year, from refinancing mortgages they own or have guaranteed when more is owed on a home than it is worth. The White House says this could reduce monthly payments for up to 5 million homeowners.
2: Create incentives for lenders to modify subprime loans at risk of default or foreclosure. For lenders that agree to reduce rates to levels borrowers can afford, the government will make up part of the difference between the old monthly payment and the new payment. Participating lenders also will be required to cut payments to no more than 31 percent of a borrower's income. Up to 4 million homeowners could benefit.
3: Keep mortgage rates low for millions of middle-class families seeking new mortgages. Using money already approved by Congress for this purpose, the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve will continue to buy Fannie and Freddie mortgage-backed securities to maintain stability and liquidity in the marketplace. The department, through its existing authority, will provide up to $200 billion in capital for this purpose.
4: Pursue reforms to help families avoid foreclosure. The administration will continue to support changing bankruptcy rules so judges can reduce mortgages on primary homes to their fair market value, as long as the borrower sticks to a court-ordered repayment plan. As part of the $787 billion stimulus package that Obama signed into law on Tuesday, the administration will award $2 billion in competitive grants to communities experimenting with innovative ways to prevent foreclosures.
Limited Time and a Limited number of homeowners will be helped: Obama's Foreclosure Relief plan only has enough money to help up to 9 Million homeowners however estimates by many economists project that over 27 million homeowners need help. If you wait you could miss your opportunity to modify the terms of your loan. This does not mean you should make a fast and uneducated decision, but you should absolutely at least see if you qualify and start the process by getting in the que.
