The economy may be getting better, but the housing market is still in a huge slump. With many homeowners trying to stay in their homes and seeking mortgage modification, loan companies are having to adjust their requirements and be more lenient on applications. If you're one of the many homeowners worried about losing your home, this could be a saving grace.
When considering a homeowner for mortgage modification, loan companies look at a variety of factors to determine whether they are qualified. Almost every lender looks at credit, mortgage payment history, gross monthly income, debt to income ratio, bankruptcy history, and current property values. But what they're looking for varies, meaning that anyone looking for a modification needs to call the lender's loan modification department to get requirement information, ask any pertinent questions, and to find out about their application process.
Along with the application, every lender requires that you write a hardship letter to send in along with the rest of the paperwork and required financial documents. The hardship letter should include why you cannot afford your current monthly payments, how you came to fall into financial hardship, what your plans are to get back onto your feet, any special circumstances surrounding your hardship, your budget plan, any future financial prospects, and your willingness to work with them. It sounds like a lot more than it really is, and in writing the letter you find that it all flows together.
Additionally, when filling out the application be sure not to make any mistakes. Some lending institutions are very strict on any sort of mistakes on an application and will deny any that have even the smallest mistakes. This is unfortunate, as it gives them the power to say no on a whim.
After sending all of the papers in for your mortgage modification loan company should get in touch with you within eight weeks with their answer.
