Begin with questions and answers about Home Affordable Program featuring HARP and HAMP.
HARP helps homeowners who make payments on time but can't refinance due to a loss of equity in their homes. HAMP assists struggling homeowners with modifications because of an interest rate increase or decrease in income.
Newly added is the real estate short sale and strategic default question and answer section which further addresses loss of equity.
Near the bottom is the Q and A loan modification series by Ask Kate! Below that you will find a link to my Mortgage Modification Guide. Enjoy!
