Is Refinance Possible with a hight LTV?

I am able to lend in AZ. First off, if your loan is Fannie Mae owned and it closed prior to June 1, 2009, there should be no reason why you can't do a HARP refinance. Even if an appraisal is required (unlikely), it doesn't matter what the value is in relation to your mortgage. The problem may be that you have contacted the wrong lenders who have their own "overlays" to the HARP program. This is the way overlays work: Even if Fannie or Freddie say that they will allow certain elements to be waived (i.e. loan vs value), it does not mean that individual lenders must do them. You have to find a lender who is a direct seller to Fannie/Freddie that follow their guidelines to the letter. We are. Please feel free to contact me at barb.lanis@1amllc.com or 630-660-8868

If you meet the criteria for a HARP refi, link is http://www.makinghomeaffordable.gov/programs/lower-rates/Pages/harp.aspx to see, then you might have options. The issue you will likely have here is your LTV as you mentioned. Even though the HARP program has no cap on LTV the fact is that they don't lend money through the HARP program and the lenders do, so each lender has their own rules called overlays and most lenders will not go over 105% LTV even on a HARP refi and you are at 142.5% LTV according to the numbers you have posted here. Some lenders will go that high but very few so I would go to the top of the page and click on the "Find a Lender" tab and start calling people to see who is willing to go that high on a HARP refi.

If your rate is 7.00%, it is likely your loan originated before May 31, 2009. If so, it does not matter what your home is worth, we can do a HARP refi for you.

To be eligible for the Fannie Mae HARP 2.0 program that we'd need to use for your unique situation we would first need to confirm that you loan was sold to Fannie Mae prior to May 31st, 2009. The program does require that we qualify with full documentation of your income and even if the appraisal is returned with the the lower of the values mentioned in your comments we could still utilize the program to complete your refinance.If you'd like to review this option further you may call me at 619 283-4000 x.2226 my name is Tim GrayI look forward to hearing from you and getting your new loan taken care of for you.Kindly,Tim GrayMortgage Alliance Group619 283-4000 x.2226tim@mortgage-alliance.net

Find another lender! If nothing else, your current servicer should be able to help you but you might get a better rate and terms through someone else.
