Sorry, unfortunately there are no programs at this time that will allow refinancing with that much negative equity. Hang in there...Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I'm not aware of any new loan options for you either... BUT, this isn't the case with everyone who may be upside down. Everyone should contact an NMLS Licensed Loan Officer who can personally review their situation to determine their options. Many people are able to refinance under the auspice of the HARP program (Home Affordable Refinance Program). In MN or WI, visit www.MnBestRates.com

David, Your not alone, there is a great percentage of the country that is in your position. It is not your fault and there isn't anyway that you could've seen it coming. You have 2 options that I know of- You can contact Countrywide/BofA and ask for a loan modification. The other option, if possible would be to wait this thing out and see what happens with the real estate market. I doubt that it will get any worse. If you are happy where you live and can afford it- wait it out... I would look into the modification and see if they can help you out.It will get better !Thank You,Craig S. Spaulding

I would contact a non profit organization to help advocate for you. A company like NACA will assist you free of charge in negotiating with your current servicer to lower your interest rate and or forgive some principle balance due to the negative equity position you are in. This is all done in an effort to lower your payment. Best of all the services are all free. YTou have nothing to lose. They work directly with the lender and advocate for you using all resorces available. I have sent my clients to them and they have had great success. I wish you all the best of luck!Brian Dawson866-790-4489 EXT 4207
