40 year Fixed Can I Refinance with Harp 2?
Loan is backed by Fannie, credit is awesome, all on-time payments, etc. We just bought the home with a 40 year fixed and now it is underwater big time. Is there a cap on the loan-to-value ratio for HARP 2 program for people with 40 year fixed loans? We'd love to refinance to a 30 year fixed if possible. I thought I remember reading that there was a 105% cap for people with 40 year fixed loans looking to refinance under Harp 2. by ca_pea_392_566 from Bakersfield, California. Mar 25th 2012

You would have had to purchase your home or initiated your Fannie Mae Loan prior to May 31, 2009 to qualify for HARP... and you can only go to 30 years. There is no LTV... Contact a local mortgage broker not a bank and apply with them... they have access to numerous lenders and can find the right loan product for your particular scenario.. WilliamAcres.com

I just checked with a couple lenders who are offering the HARP 2.0 and the LTV max is 105% with loan terms greater than 30 years < 40 yrs. You need to determine if your loan was originated before May of 2009. Contact my office if you need anything else. www.sandiegoloanpro.com 619-609-7006smcpherson@c2financialcorp.com

We have lenders that will refinance homes using the HARP 2 program and allow unlimited LTVs. If your current loan was orginated before June 1, 2009, it's possible for you to refinance, but not into a 40-year loan--30 years is the max. Other guidelines need to be met as well. Give me a call 16/7, or email me, and I'll be happy to walk you through the process. To learn more about me and our mortgage brokerage, click on my picture.

Thanks for all the info. I said "just" but we really have been in the house 5 years and closed before the 2009 deadline (fall of 2008). So we seem to meet all applicable requirements under the government we just need to find a bank with no LTV cap because it is really underwater. We will definitely be contacting a broker to help us navigate the HARP 2 offerings. Have most banks come out with their offerings/requirements for HARP 2?
