Refinancing Underwater Loan

Profile picture for marcd2k
I just spent 4 hours on the phone with HUD counselors, and I am no further along than before. My loan is not Fannie or Freddie, it is being serviced by One West Bank, who took that over from IndyMac. My mortgage is actually in a pool of mortgages,(mortgage backed securities), that is owned by Deutsche Bank National Trust Company. (They are the Trustee.) One West Bank states they have to follow the terms of their servicing agreement, which will not allow any modificationto loans in this pool that are not seriously delinquent. HUD is telling me there are GSE lenders that will refinance mortgages that are Non-Fannie / Freddie, that you have not been late on payments in the past 12 months, and are underwater. The only info I'm finding on GSE lenders says the loan has to be Fannie or Freddie. Any info on what my actual options are would be greatly appreciated, since all the "experts" don't seem to know what is going on.

Unfortunately most housing counselors are NOT lenders, so they are often wrong – and they are in this case.  Fannie & Freddie will not lend more than the property is worth unless they already own the mortgage.  I really don't know of any options.

Hi,

I believe what your talking about is an FHA Short Refinance.

Your lender has to participate.

You need to be current on your mortgage payment for the last 12 months.

Upside down on your loan by 115%

You may end up getting a new loan at 97% of current market value.

Almost all loans we deal with are securitized.  There are ways to deal with the servicer/investor.
