I can get this done. I am a mortgage broker/banker in northern CA with you. Call me at (707) 347-9250 and I will help you. We have a way to get this done with no overlays as we sell directly to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. I wrote an article about it and even have links there wo you can see if Freddie or Fannie owns your loan currently. Check that out at www hansblog dot com

YES... the HARP program will work for investment properties, however lender overlays might prevent this... contact a local mortgage broker, not a bank, and apply with them.. they have access to numerous lenders and can find the right one for your particular scenario.. WilliamAcres.com

Perhaps. Under the HARP 2.0 guidelines, investment properties are eligible. That said, most lenders have added additional criteria, commonly called "overlays" that restrict what you might be able to obtain. Contact a local Mortgage Banker /Broker. DON'T use one of the big banks, DON'T use one of the big national Mortgage factories, and DON'T use the people you are currently making payments to. We have heard that the big banks are already advising their customers that it could be a 4-6 month lead time before they will be able to close escrow. You shouldn't have to wait. The local or regional Mortgage Banker/Broker is better equipped to handle the volume. We tend to be much more nimble in adding or moving personnel to accommodate a spike in volume. The big guys don't want to hire more people, so instead you wait and wait and wait. Another benefit is that your local Mortgage Banker has access to all the lending sources, allowing for an easier fit into the lender or program that makes the most sense.

Yes you can use the HARP program for investment properties. There are some rate adjustments for investment properties so depending on your current rate will decide if it makes sense or not. I only lend in Florida.
