ARM Mortgage Loan Modifications on BlogSpot.COM
LoanModNews on blogspot.com has a good article about ARM Mortgage Modification’s. From the article:
Lenders and the federal government have responded to this crisis and loan modifications are now an option for many holding an adjustable rate mortgage. A loan modification changes the terms of the loan so that the monthly payments are more affordable. This can be accomplished through lowering the interest rate, lengthening the payment term on the loan, partial principal forgiveness or changing a loan from an ARM to a fixed rate mortgage.
The federal government is encouraging lenders to offer loan modifications, particularly ARM mortgage loan modifications. The new Homeowner Affordability and Stability program even gives lenders a $1000 per loan modification to provide incentives for lenders to help troubled borrowers to help stabilize the mortgage industry and financial markets.
