In my world – a mortgage should never be more than 2 times your annual income.
More lose standards are 3 times your income.
Max loan you’ll get is $ 105,000. That means a 35K down payment
And this will not allow you to save for the future, things such as retirement and kids college. And cars for cash will be a thing of the past. You won’t be able to save for them – you’ll have to finance them

Question by USA U: Obama Mortgage refinance program, information pills eligibility tool?
I applied for refinancing with Obama’s plan back in March 2009. The financier, keeps telling me that the “TOOL” (system) used for “eligibility” is NOT up and running yet, and he cannot submit my file?

He keeps saying he will submit it when it is? Does anyone know of problems with this system holding up refi’s?

Or am I just getting the RUNAROUND?

Call your mortgage company. Talk to the loss mitigation department and advise them you can’t afford the home and you want to do a “deed in lieu of foreclosure”. This will adversely effect your credit score for many years, order and perhaps interfere with buying a new house. FHA and VA would be no different, all lenders will report it to the bureaus.
Is it possible to rent it? Try to hang in there until the market rebounds? Just food for thought, good luck!

  1. The lender won’t “forgive” a portion of your loan, but you can ask for a rate modification.

  2. Unless you have a fixed-rate mortgage, the current mortgage interest rates are very important to deciding how much you should pay every monthcompanies offer different interest rates so it is a good idea to shop around for the best deal before settling on one particular lender.

  3. I am a Bankruptcy Attorney in Detroit. You can File Chapter 7 or 13 depending on your income and get rid of the property. If you still want to keep it then file Chapter 13 and modify the loan or cram it down. You can do that as long as the house is not your residence. You file Bankruptcy where you have live for 180 days or more.
    Good Luck.
