Housing Commission: Reverse Mortgages and Alternatives Must Remain …
Question by Penny76: Has anyone been able to get a Fannie Mae loan modification? My mortgage is current and always has been. I believe I meet all the requirements for a loan mod. I have applied through my credit union twice and have been turned down twice. Obama made it sound like everyone that met making home affordable requirements could get one! Do I need to skip a payment? I’m barely making it from paycheck to paycheck! Best answer: Answer by RebeccaThen you are over extending and need to sell and buy a home you CAN afford. The Credit Union surely gave you a reason for the denial for TWICE already. Don’t ruin your credit by skipping payments then finding out you still do NOT qualify. Know better?

If some lenders are willing to take less from an outside investor, approved would they consider doing this directly from the owner? Possibly taking less for the home and refinancing it for the owner? We have not started foreclosure. In the last 6 months we have negotiated missing one payment and repaying another over 6 months. The mortgage has not been 1×30 as of recently, ask but was 1×30 about 6 months ago. Forgot to mention, visit yes we would like to keep the house and there is about 10-15% equity. Selling would not work, since hard prepay is very high, plus agent fees and other fess. Best answer: Answer by DJ BNo, they want what you promised to pay. They aren’t in the charitable business. If you default, it’s foreclosure. You could consider deed in lieu of foreclosure, but some companies aren’t accepting that. They want their money. Keep in mind as well, they could file a personal judgment lien or file a 1099 with the IRS for the balance if the property sells for less than the mortgage balance.
