Owe more than your house is worth?
Fannie Mae had recently come out with their DU Refi Plus program which allows borrowers to refinance up to 105% of their homes value. This helps, but very little as most people who bought in the last few years are more under water than that. However it appears as of September 1, 2009 the new guidelines will allow refinances up to 125% of the homes value. This should encompass more homeowners, though still not a significant number for those of us in California, but even still kudos to Fannie Mae for trying. If you think this helps you, let me know and we’ll discuss further. Remember that your home loan must be owned by Fannie Mae to qualify and chances are you do not know who owns the loan. It is not necessarily the company you write your check to, as other companies retain servicing rights to loans even after the sell them off to Fannie Mae. Contact me and I’ll help you find out if Fannie Mae is the owner of your loan.
