Options to refinance an underwater rental property?
I am trying to be proactive about my mortgage and finances, but was told by several different lenders a refinance was not possible and there was nothing they could do for me because I owed more on my loan than the property was worth. I've never missed a payment, but am seriously considering doing so just so I can get some help...I just got turned down under HARP2 because the LTV exceeds 105%. Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.Here is some additional info:The property is a 4-plex in Forth Worth, TXThe mortgage company is Wells Fargo.This is a Freddie Mac loan.I have a credit score of ca. 770 (Experian).Have no revolving debt. I do have a car loan (15k) and a primary residence (has equity) by kari.n_797_423 from Honolulu, Hawaii. Jul 5th 2012

Under the HARP 2.0 it will allow you to refinance your property even if you owe more than it's worth.. My guess is that you went back to wells Fargo, and they shot you down.. so you tired another bank.. Your best bet is a mortgage broker.. They have access to many lenders and can find the right loan product for your particular scenario.. I know for certain that there are many lenders who will do unlimited Freddie loans.. I deal with 5 of them here in AZ... I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

The Harp 2.0 is supposed to allow for unlimited LTV, however, each lender makes decisions on how high to go. I would suggest trying a local lender, not a BIG BANK. The local lender will be able to help you.

Sounds to me like you went directly to Wells. I'm closing escrow next week on a 4-plex rental with a LTV of 169% and a CLTV of 218%. I don't lend in Texas, but there are other investors out there that can do what I do. Contact a local Mortgage Banker/Broker (local to the property) and work with them. The question you want to ask BEFORE you allow them to pull your credit is: "I have a Freddie Mac 4-Plex at X% LTV. Do you have investors that go that high?" You will find one. Ignore the big banks, they will all answer "NO!" ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

I would look at contacting our San Antonio branch @ 210.451.7333. Our company does not have an LTV cap on HARP 2.0 loans, depending on your LP findings the issue may be the total outstanding loan vs. Loan limit on the other accounts as well. Freddie Mac's version of the HARP 2.0 is taking some factors that you would not expect into the considerations on loans that have a high LTV.
