Plainfield IL, Naperville Illinois Real Estate - Foreclosure Relief with Hope for Homeowners

Foreclosure Relief

Approximately 400,000 struggling homeowners could avoid foreclosure with a new FHA program, Hope for Homeowners. The program began October 1 of this year and ends September 30, 2011.

FHA will help homeowners with subprime loans refinance to an FHA insured 30 year fixed rate mortgage.

• Lender must agree to write down the loan as 90% of the appraised value.
• Eligible mortgages are those that were originated on or before January 1, 2008.
• Borrowers must have a debt to income ratio higher than 31 percent.

What's the catch.......
Homeowners must agree to share the future equity of the home with FHA when the home is sold or refinanced. After five years, the equity split is 50 percent.
