President Obama’s federal loan modification plan uses a standard 4 step formula to determine which homeowners qualify for a loan workout. You can learn this basic formula and have a lot more control over whether you are approved for this government plan. All lenders who participate in the federal Home Affordable Plan have been mandated to use the same guidelines-so it just makes sense to learn what these steps are and use them to prepare your own application correctly.
Did you know that even if you have applied before and been turned down you are allowed to request consideration for the Home Affordable Plan again? Obama has required all participating banks to review every application from a homeowner who requests consideration. This is your second chance-make sure you take the time to learn exactly what your bank will be looking for in order to approve you.
Lenders using the Home Affordable Modification Program will use 4 steps to determine who qualifies. You can follow these very same steps to pre-qualify yourself and make any necessary adjustments to your budget before your bank reviews your paperwork.
The 4 Step Formula for Home Affordable Modification Program Eligibility:
- Determine whether borrower’s monthly mortgage payment ratio exceeds 31% of their gross monthly income
