When the terms of the original mortgage are renegotiated between the lender and the borrower, the process can be defined as loan modification. Basically, a borrower will obtain a loan, referred to as a mortgage, in order to purchase real estate property, usually a home. The repayment of the loan as well as interest on the loan is agreed upon and payments made according to the agreement.

Mortgage Modification Program
6 December 2011 - The loan modification idea came on the scene several years ago. Initially, the premise was met with great expectations by the press and homeowners who were about to fall into the deep end of the I'm-in-financial-trouble pool where the foreclosure sharks were swimming around in lazy circles in wait. Then several dark clouds appeared. The largest one was labeled confusing. It's like this. The loan modification program was when your current mortgage holder or any other lender of your choice, was voluntarily going to agree to alter your current loan terms to something more satisfactory to you to avoid foreclosure. Sounds good so far. However, when it got right down to it, the investors wanted very strict rules on what could or could not be done using the modification program. Oops! When the program first started about 23,000 were offered the opportunity to jump in the pool on what was referred to as a "trial" swim. Months later that number had balloned to over 100,000 desperate homeowners looking for those blue skies and green lights. Unfortunately, when things got rolling, suddenly... read more

Home Mortgage Modification Program
29 December 2011 - Qualifications required for a mortgage modification program There are times when home owners suffer personal setbacks in their lives and cannot continue to pay their mortgages under the same terms or on time like they used to. These setbacks may be due to an abrupt sickness, an accident, financial loss, loss of a job and so on. In such an event, a home owner may find it difficult to continue making their mortgage repayments. Luckily however, residents of the US can now take advantage of the federal mortgage modification program. This is a process where terms of the original contract between the homeowner and the lender are modified to enable borrowers adjust terms of payment that are affordable to them. To qualify for the mortgage modification program, a mathematical calculation of the homeowner’s gross monthly income, monthly expenses, cash in the bank, current loan balance and current value of the home is first done. Using this calculation, the bank is able to determine if the homeowner’s loan can be modified using the standard formula. The other qualifying factor is that... read more

16 December 2011 - Mortgage modification calculator: where can you find it? Mortgage modification is the process by which the repayment terms of a mortgage are renegotiated so as to reduce the periodic payments, extend the payment period and if possible, offer relief to the homeowner. Mortgage modification is usually an option offered to home owners who are experiencing some kind of financial hardship and are unable to make their loan repayment. It is a much better option, both for the lenders as well as the home owners, if the terms of the mortgage are reviewed that allow the home go into foreclosure. Foreclosure will usually imply that that the homeowner has been completely unable to make the repayments and the lender, usually a bank, has to repossess the home. In this case, the borrower, or home owner will lose their home while the bank will be left with a home that does not have a ready buyer and has lost plenty of its value. Not every individual qualifies for a home mortgage modification program. To qualify, one has to exhibit sever financial distress. This can be ascertained by the bank ... read
