Your loan must have been originated before June 1, 2009, and have been purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. I can tell you if that occurred in a matter of minutes. If so, and depending upon when your loan originated, you can apply for the loan regardless of what your home's FMV is as it relates to your loan's balance--loan-to-value ratio. Give me a call 16/7, or email me your phone number so I can call you, and I'll be happy to walk you through the process. To learn more about me and our mortgage brokerage, click on my picture.

Blake hit the nail on the head. Now in addition, if you are not eligible, there are other options. If your home is under water, you can potentially have a short sale on the property. Please note that you should only deal with a real estate agent who knows the short sale process and uses a skilled negotiator with your lender. Along with being a loan professional I am also a REALTOR. I perform short sales and use one who is the very best to get a pre-approved amount which will be accepted as an offer to your lender. DO NOT use one who does not use a skilled negotiator or who has no experience in the area of expertise. TROUBLE! Now, if you have an FHA loan or conventional in some circumstances, you can ask for forbearance.

I will be happy to assist you!! All the best, Scott. 916-470-0947.
