AliceDoes this HARP Program modify the principle to current value of the property, Why would I keep my house that is only worth 250,000 and not the 480,00 I paid, I will never be on top of this loan

ShirleyHello Gail, I am on the phone with HARP right now as I am typing this response. here’s the deal: if your LTV is 125% or higher, you have to go into the HARP 2.0, 125% or lower will go into the HARP 1.0. The 2.0 program guidelines have not all been put out, they are still working on it. I was told that by March the 2.0 HARP program will be available.

ShirleyHello Wanda, according to what the President said if your mortgage company does not participate with HARP, you can have your mortgage transfered to a company that does. how this process works, I don’t know you will have to do some research.

ShirleyI was on the phone with HARP today and I was told that the HARP 2.0 will not be available until March 2012, that is if your LTV is 125% or higher

KendraHello, since refinancing to a harp loan just a few months ago, the rates have dropped even more. Can we refi it already?

MarilynNo… Loan has to be prior to June 2009.

MarilynNo. If you don’t currently have pmi, its not required on the new loan.

CeceliaI have a Fannie Mae an interest only loan with lender paid mortgage insurance (LPMI). The LMPI was paid upfront, but because it is on my original Fannie Mae loan I cannot refinance under the HARP 2.0 program. I meet all other qualifications. I live in Maryland. Am I now eligible even with the LPMI?

Pam JWhere do you get the forms to apply for refinancing under HARP? Current on payments but house is under water. Want to refinance under this new program announced in October.

Rob SanchezI spoke with Bank of America today and told me I don’t qualify because I have PMI; but I don’t see PMI address in any of the eligibility requirements. I requested a letter from BOA stating that I don’t qualify and they stated they can’t produce such type of letter. What can anyone tell me in regards to PMI and eligibility?
Thanks, RobJanuary 29, 2012 at 9:05 pm #2317
HeatherCan we use Harp to refinance our investment property (I.e. my husband’s house in his name alone) that he owned before we were married? We are losing $600 a month on it and that’s WITH renters in it.

SharonDo I need to still pay closing cost?

mcgonagallSomebody just called me from “chase” bank stating that the Harp will be available on February 6th(this next Mon) and that we would now be eligible even though we are quite underwater. Since we could not sell the property without losing $$$, we went ahead and rented it and are now living in another state i.e., it is no longer our “primary” residence. Will we still be available for the new HARP refi? we are taking a 600./mo loss even through renting>>>

KellyI talked to wells fargo today,They told me I have to wait til the end of march to see if we’re eligible?? Also to watch the mail??? But then he says by looking at are loan we will most likely be eligible to REALLY watch the mail.. ????

michaelI talked with Wells Fargo yesterday, and the rep told me that I wouldn’t be eligible for a HARP refi because I cannot show verified employment for the past two years. I have a part-time job since Nov. 2011, and have a business that has not been generating much income; but nowhere did I read any requirement regarding two years of income verification. Can they do this? Do the HARP loan requirements vary from lender to lender?
