Breaking news from the L.A. Times! Refinancing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac home loans that are underwater should be easier now, thanks to the Obama administration. The title above should link; if not, here's the article. However, don't get too excited yet. Here's a quote:
"Even with the new rules, only borrowers with mortgages taken on by Fannie and Freddie on or before May 31, 2009, can qualify. Their loan amounts must top 80% of the current market value of their homes. And they must be current on their payments, with no late payment in the last six months and no more than one late payment in the last 12 months."
So, as usual, the devil is in the details and the proof is in the pudding and all that.
Here's another article from today's L.A. Times regarding the administration's efforts to help people refinance their loans. It details other, non-Freddie/Fannie efforts. The article is skeptical in tone and so am I.
I think writing down interest is a great idea; I think writing down principal will never happen.
