Obama Loan Modification Homeowner Stability Plan

By Anthony M. Flores

The U.S recession has really hurt the economy and has severely increased the jobless rate here in the country.

Barack Obama has figured out a way to reduce the foreclosure rate by offering loan modification to the people that are not able to pay their mortgage payment.

The focus of loan modification is to lower the homeowners mortgage payment. With this in mind, President Obama's government has designed a loan modification plan, which allows homeowners the opportunity to reduce excessive charges that are being imposed on debt paying customers.

How it works?

1. Interest rates and cap:

The loans that will undergo modification will be allotted a significantly reduced interest rate. The modified interest rates can fall between 2-6% depending on the customers hardship and ability to prove financial difficulty due to their mortgage.

2. Principal reduction:

Principal reduction is used to lower the balance thus resulting in lower payments. The loan modification reduction is based on current market value and is not guaranteed by the Obama plan. Each case is unique based on hardship.

3. Monthly reduced payments.

To reduce a homeowner's monthly payments on mortgage, the finance department will join hands with other firms to achieve this objective.

The Obama administration has attempted to lower the qualifications to 38% of the homeowners monthly income.

4. The lenders incentive:

Potential lenders will receive $1000 in incentives to qualify homeowners for the loan modification plan.

In addition, $1000 will be reduced from the homeowners principal, if the debtor continues with the plan. The prime purpose behind this is to help homeowners to refinance their loans.

5. Payments for successful performance of debtors:

The decrease in principal is an added benefit to this loan modification plan. This principal reduction can result in a reduced principal balance of 2-15% of the current home market value.

It is necessary for a borrower to keep all the papers in place to prove that the loan modification plan was signed. This will help the homeowners to keep a track of all the current happenings in the loan modification program.

Hardest Hit States In The U.S. With Home Foreclosures

By Anthony M. Flores

The U.S foreclosure rate has hit an all time high in 2009. Lenders are forced to foreclose on homes due to high unemployment rates which has resulted in a shortage of income leaving homeowners with no choice but to default on their home loans.

The U.S has recorded devastating foreclosure highs which has resulted in one out of every 398 homes facing foreclosure.

Nevada is one of the hardest hit States with one in 33 houses in foreclosure. This figure translates to over 34,417 homes in process of foreclosure. Florida is next with a mind blowing 165,291 homes in foreclosure, which equals one out of every 50 homes in foreclosure.

Some of the other hardest hit states are California, Detroit, Texas, Virginia, Illinois, Georgia, and Michigan. It has been reported that almost 77 percent of the U.S is facing foreclosure.

The State of Las Vegas has seen as much as 14,861 foreclosures. This equals one in every 54 homes in foreclosure. The state of Florida has accounted for 15 percent of the foreclosures in the country.

The factors behind this may include foreclosure policies, exploding demands, vastly different housing markets and differing mortgage plans.Overall, the number of home loans that entered the stage of foreclosures rose to 117,259 in February of 2009, which was 68 percent more from the same month of the previous year.

So what are the reason for high delinquencies and foreclosure? There are several factors. The two that come to mind are depreciation of home value and the other is related to job loss. Lower property value makes it impossible to refinance which has contributed to the highest rates of foreclosure we have ever seen in the country.

There is hope and a solution to curb these foreclosures numbers and help homeowners fight foreclosure. In an effective way to provide a solution to these foreclosure rates, most banks and lenders are providing homeowners with a repayment plan known as loan modification.Loan modification is a great solution in combating these horrific foreclosure rates by reducing the homeowners interest rate and lowering their monthly payments. If you are having trouble making your mortgage payment, consult with your lender to see if there is a program that they may have to help you save your home. - 32499
