The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has attuned its Short refinance program that was formerly publicized to enable the lenders to offer extra refinancing choices to the house owners. Commenced on September 7, 2010, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) provided few underwater non-FHA borrowers the prospect to be eligible for a new FHA insured mortgage. This scheme is for few non-FHA borrowers who are up-to-date on the existing mortgage and whose lenders consent to dismiss at least ten percent of the principal balance of the first mortgage that is due. The new Short Refinance program is aimed to assist people who owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth, in other words underwater.

Do upside down mortgage holders have another option besides short sales? Are there any other options for upside down mortgage holders besides short sales? There answer is now yes. A new program known as a Principal Balance Reduction is being offered to upside down homeowners that meet a few basic qualifications. As long as the mortgage(s) is worth at least 25% more than the value of the property and the applicant can document a debt-to-income ratio of 50% or less (based on the new, lower monthly mortgage payment) the negative equity can be completely eliminated through a Principal Balance Reduction program. A Principal Balance Reduction program is essentially a large scale Note purchase program consisting of heavily upside down homeowners, some current on their payments and others that have already stopped making their mortgage payments. Due to the fact that property owners who owe more than their property is worth are very likely to default in the not so distant future, the Notes are sold to the new buyer (in this case a $5 Billion dollar hedge-fund) at a steep discount to current market value. The new owner of the Notes, the hedge-fund, then turns around and changes a couple of terms of the existing Note they just acquired.

The oustanding mortgage balance is reduced to 95% of current market value and the interest rate is changed, to either 6.25% or 7.25% depending on the homeowners credit score. The once upside down homeowner now has a permanent principal reduction often amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings and the hedge-fund makes a quick profit and turns around and repeats the process with new clients. Are short sales a thing of the past? Possibly. If a homeowner qualifies for the program, why just walk away from the property and let someone else get a great deal. Also, short sales have negative tax implications and don’t do your credit any good. A Principal Balance Reduction program allows the homeowner to essentially short sell the property to themselves without the negative tax implications or ruining their credit rating. The hedge fund has a very high success rate at purchasing these Notes at a substantial discount to market value. The portfolios presented to the lender, often consisting of over 100 properties, are all upside down by at least 25%. These are toxic assets that if haven’t soured yet and going to at an alarming rate in the coming months.
