Mar 17th, 2009 by Afiya
Obama’s Loan Modification program is giving hope to millions of homeowners who cannot afford their mortgage payments. This article describes how you can receive up to $5000 to help pay your mortgage.
How does it work?
The Pay For Success fund which is a portion of Obama’s loan modification program will reward homeowners who get a loan modification and can keep current with their new lowered mortgage payments. It sounds almost too good to be true: if you get a loan modification and you keep current with your new payments you will be rewarded with up to $5000!
How do I Qualify?
Not everyone can qualify and not everyone who could take advantage of this program will. Here is what you need to do.
1. Meet the requirements of Obama’s Loan Modification Program
2. Apply for a loan modification
3. Make your new lower monthly payments on time for 1 year
4. Receive $1000 for every year you do not miss a payment, up to 5 years
Therefore the total amount of money you could receive from the program is $5000, the money will go to pay down your mortgage.
What are my next steps?
Obama’s loan modification program aims to reduce your monthly payment to equal 31% of your gross monthly income. This percentage is often referred to as your debt ratio and is a critical component to getting qualified. It is important for you to know what your current debt ratio is and what your monthly payment would be if your debt ratio were lowered to 31%. The calculation of your debt ratio is not difficult you only need to spend some time researching and collecting the required information. Understanding your financial position is your next step, loan modification kits can help you with this process.
Once you understand your financial situation you can apply for a loan modification and since Obama’s program has been launched your chances of success have never been better. To apply for a loan modification you need to fill out several forms and provide financial statements that all lenders require.
To fill out these forms you can hire a loan modification company which would charge $1500-$3000 or you can fill them out yourself, but you must ensure you have all documentation required since missing forms can significantly delay your application.
To prepare these critical documents you can use the Complete Loan Modification Kit which provides you with all the forms, document templates and an extensive how-to guide
