Making Home Affordable Program: Refinancing

Many homeowners pay their mortgage on time, but do not qualify to refinance at today's lower rates due to current home values. A Home Affordable Refinance will help borrowers whose loans are held by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac refinance into a more affordable mortgage.

This new plan will make refinancing easier for many homeowners. If your loan is held by Freddie Mac, some benefits to refinancing under this plan may include:

  • Refinance up to 125% loan-to-value ratio. For instance, if your home is worth $100,000 and your current mortgage exceeds that amount, under this program you may be able to refinance your mortgage up to $125,000.
  • No appraisal required on some single-family homes
  • No minimum credit score unless payment increases more than 20%
  • No employment, income and asset verification unless payment increases more than 20%

With today's interest rate environment and the relaxed qualifying requirements available through the Making Home Affordable Program, it makes sense to review your current situation now.
