Home foreclosure rates continue to soar. And loan modifications certainly haven’t turned out to be the magic solution we hoped. But they remain our best near term solution.

A mortgage modification is simply a modification to the original mortgage agreement.

Loan Mod applications pour in daily. Many banks receive more than 10,000 applications per day. The deluge has led to enormous backlogs. Many times it’s simply impossible to get through to your bank on the phone. One bank actually has a recorded message they are only available 3 hours per day!

The HAMP loan modification program holds the most hope of any modification program. It’s simply head and shoulders above all other programs. The only problem? Qualifying isn’t always easy.

Requirement number 1: The loan must be less then $729,000 and made prior to January, 2009.

Secondly, the borrower(s) must be experiencing financial hardship. The Program is intended to assist homeowners who are struggling to make their payments and may otherwise be faced with default and foreclosure. A hardship is described as any increase in expenses or decrease in income making it difficult to make the mortgage payment. And, with the economy in such a state, this criteria is commonly met.

Homeowners who are completely without resources will not qualify. All loan mod programs require significant borrower income. The amount needed is figured using debt-to-income ratios and cash flows as submitted by the borrower(s) on a formal application.

All this is paid for by $75 billion from the U.S. taxpayer. Participating banks receive compensation when they grant loan mods.

The application process is relatively simple and straightforward…sorta’ like doing your taxes – NOT! It is arduous but it can be done with a little help from an experienced adviser. Tons of support material is available from the banks and from the government and their endorsed non-profit associates. Smart applicants will also avail themselves of support from a reputable, experienced, private, for-profit source.

Any homeowners thinking about buying a home right now should seriously consider speaking with a local realtor and mortgage broker. Rates have not been this low in over 30 years. As an example, a buyer who has a FICO score of 750 thinking of purchasing a property in California might get their loan originating from a bank like Provident Funding over a 30 year fixed rate as little as 4.25% with zero points. That is amazing, it’s almost like they are giving you money. Picture this for a second; 4.25% on a loan. Once the housing industry starts to appreciate, the increasing valuation on the home will negate any interests that you will be paying. On top of that, homeowners get tax write offs for just about any interest they pay on the property.

How long do we all think these low mortgage rates will last? The answer’s, no-one really knows. Today the instability of the stock exchange is driving all the investors to the bond market. And those people who are looking for a home loan today stand to benefit. If you’ve seen the movie the perfect storm. This is actually the perfect storm for the home buyers. The housing market has depreciated during the last 3-4 years to unbelievable lows. The government has been throwing money anywhere it can to stimulate the economy. Interest rates have reached a record low. There are tax incentives to purchase a house. What more does anyone need before they think this really is the perfect time to purchase a home?

According to the San Diego Union Tribune; San Diego Foreclosures are near an all-time low. Foreclosure filings went down 29.6 percent from last year and 1.9 percent from April. And June of 2010 saw a .2 percent gain in residential building permits. Most experts agree we will see development in the housing market so now is the time to obtain a great deal. Those who buy now will look like geniuses in a few years. And the who waited will probably be regretting they didn’t have the guts to accomplish anything about it. What’s that quote from Warren Buffet? Buy when no one else is buying and sell when everybody else wants to buy? Not likely the precise quote, but you get the picture.
