You might be eligible for special refinance programs

If you have less than 20% equity in your house (or are underwater), and have a loan owned or backed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or FHA, you may be eligible for special refinance programs.

To see if your loan is owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, use the following lookup tools:

• http://www.fanniemae.com/loanlookup/
• http://www.freddiemac.com/mymortgage/

To find out if you have an FHA-insured loan:

• Check your monthly statement to see if you have a mortgage insurance premium (MIP). This is what FHA calls its mortgage insurance — so if you see it on your statement, you have an FHA-insured loan; or
• Check your closing docs and find your closing statement (called a HUD1). Look in the top-right corner on the first page and see if you find a HUD 13-digit case number in this format: 000-0000000-000. If you do have a HUD case number, you have an FHA-insured loan.
• If you're still uncertain, call your lender or servicer.
