FHFA Announces Principal Reduction Modification Program 

FHFA has recently announced a program that is meant to reduce principal on owner occupied residential mortgage loans.  This affects roughly 33,000 mortgages that are significantly underwater according to reports in Housingwire and National Mortgage News.  The good news is that NJ has the highest portion of those houses that are significantly underwater.

Here are some of the guidelines for the principal reduction program:

• Must be owner occupied
• Have to be behind at least 90 days as of March 1, 2016
• Fannie or Freddie have to either own or have guaranteed the loan
• Outstanding principal balance must be no more than $250,000
• The market loan to value must exceed 115%
• Earnings are capitalized
• The interests rate is reduced
• If Market loan to value is greater than 115% than it is reduced to equal 115%, the difference is not capitalized if the borrower makes all payments on time.
