Refi options? Will Making Home Affordable Work?

Profile picture for teacando
In 2003 I took a 1st mortgage for $200,000, 30-yr, 5.99%, and a $40,000 piggyback.  In 2006, after a major remodel, I rolled the piggyback into a new 2nd mortage for $250,000, 30/15 balloon for 7.99%.  Today, I owe $417,000 combined.  I'd like to refi -- either 1.combine both into one mortgage, 2. refi both separately, or 3. refi the 2nd only.  I estimate my house is worth $420,000 to $450,000.  Will the Making Home Affordable plan work for me?  Any other options?  I have excellent credit, 780.

PMP,

I am not aware of a 99.25% (($417K owed (home worth $420K)) Cashout REFIS.  MHA is not for cashout refis the last time I checked.

Teacan,
The major hurdle:  The 2nd mortgage. You can't combine the 2 currently (and I doubt ever will) with this program.  You could get the 1st redone (with approvals from Both lenders).  Unufortunately, America is finding out that the 2nd mortgages that we were all advised were great, have some drawbacks.  Hopefully it will work out, but it will be 2 separate agreements.  Each lender can help... It will just be:  will they?  Good luck.
