REFI through HARP program

Profile picture for mcdormbmm

Suntrust is the servicer of my loan and I qualify for the HARP program.  The problem is that my first refi attempt, which was through 5th 3rd bank, resulted in the appraisal coming in at 109% LTV.  Since this time lenders have begun to accept LTV's up 125% but the stipulations are outrageous.  Suntrust told me today that if started the process and the appraisal came in above 105% LTV there would be an automatic 3.5 points added on to the loan.  Does anyone know of any other options I have available?  From what I understand, all lenders are tacking on multiple points for LTV's above 105%.  I do currently have LPMI for those who are wondering.  Thanks for your time.

The HARP program has maximum adjustments, I'm pretty sure it is 1.75% for your scenario.   You should ask Suntrust if their pricing takes into account the max "LLPA" rule from Fannie Mae.   Since the >105 product is very new, some lenders rolled it out but did not incorporate the max LLPA rules until very recently.
