Are you in arrears in your mortgage with Washington Mutual? You may be able to avoid foreclosure by obtaining a Washington Mutual Loan Modification. President Obama's administration has allocated 75 billion dollars in the Stimulus Package to assist homeowners facing foreclosure. Under this federal program, incentives are paid to approved lenders to encourage them to modify mortgages for troubled homeowners. This modified loan targets a lower monthly payment below 31% of the borrower's monthly gross income, with property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and association dues included.
This is achieved by one or all of these methods:
· Lowered interest rate, possibly 2%.
· Extended length, or term, of the mortgage.
· Waived late fees.
· Forgiven principal.
What guidelines are there to obtain a loan modification?
· The home must be your primary residence.
· The original loan must have been signed on or before January 1, 2009.
· The loan amount on the property must not be more than $729,750.
· The homeowner's current, unaffordable payment with them must be more than 31% of their gross monthly income, including taxes, insurance, and association dues.
· The borrower must be a victim of financial hardship: job loss, medical bills, military service, divorce, etc... This must be documented with the appropriate paperwork.
· It is also most important that they are well-convinced that the homeowner is able to pay the new mortgage. Washington Mutual will be seeking to determine whether the borrower is committed to staying current with their new mortgage.
You can only get one loan modification, and you can only apply one time! So, you see the importance of careful planning and preparation before you contact your loan officer about a Washington Mutual loan modification. This will give you confidence when you approach your loan representative.
