What is a 125% mortgage? Is that HARP ?

yes it is

It is a harp loan in today's terms. What it means your property is overencumbered by 25% of it's value or it's worth less, by 25%, of what you owe on it.

yes it is!

If you need help with an underwater mortgage, even if it is over 125%, we have a program that allows for an unlimited loan to value, i.e., over 125%. The rates are the same as if you were under 105%.Feel free to call me at 530-205-9145, or e-mail me at rick@rickpelleriti.com.Best of luck...

Yes, it is. We are located in California as well and offer the HARP program to underwater borrowers!

The "125%" is referring to the "Loan to Value" or LTV.. HARP guidelines state you can refinance with "unlimited" LTV, however most lenders have overlays or additional guidelines that limit the LTV to say 125% or 150%.. ..

yes, that is what 125% referrs to now. (now 8-10 years ago there were other options...). The 125% may be misleading, in some cases there is no effective limit on the LTV if it is a HARP loan.

It is HARP 2, a derivation and improvement of the original HARP program. Depending upon the lender, it's possible for your home to have an unlimited LTV and CLTV, that is, if you have a 2nd mortgage. Lenders' interest rates are higher for loans with higher LTVs because of the greater risk. Typically the breaks are up to 105%, 105.01% to 125%, 125.01% to 150%, 150.01% to 175%, and over 175%. Fortunately, we have many HARP 2 lenders, so we can accommodate any homeowner needing this exceptional loan. I would strongly suggest, though, that if you are considering refinancing to do so as quickly as possible. Interest rates risen dramatically since mid-May, and they probably will continue rise for the foreseeable future. That is not to say they still aren't terrific, but just not as good as they were. Depending upon the balance of your mortgage loan, you could easily realize a $250 to $1,100 monthly savings with a HARP 2 loan.

When the mortgage(s) are 125% of the property value, there is more owed on the property than it is worth. A few years ago, borrowers with good credit could obtain a second mortgage for a total of 125% of the property value, thence the term "125% mortgage".

Hi, this really could apply to a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac HARP loan but could also apply for FHA or VA streamline refinances depending on current values vs. current loan balances. Most of us can do unlimited LTV/CLTV Fannie or Freddie Refinances now, even if we aren't your current servicer. With regards to the govt loans, if you owe $200K on an FHA or VA loan today but the market value of your home is say $150K - we can help you refinance in most cases because there is no appraisal required to verify the current value. Hope that helps!

A 125% mortgage is one where the loan amount exceeds the value by 125%. It could be a HARP loan if it is for a refinance of a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae owned loan. It could also be for a VA or FHA streamlined refinance.Feel free to contact us if you have questions specific to your situation.

125% mortgage is a mortgage that is 25% above the appraised value. It can qualify for Harp if your loan is owned by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae

Yes, Mr Simpson, it is HARP, a program that allows you to refinance even if your home worth less than you currently owe. If your loan was purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on or before May 31, 2009 and you are current on your payments (or with only one 30 days late in the last year, or six months), you might qualify for the program. Please feel free to call me if you have questions or would like to know more about this program. I am a loan officer in Fountain Valley, CA, and you can call me at (714) 420-7941, or email me at cmarin@allwestern.com. And thank you for asking your question in this forum!

If its a 2nd mortgage no. If not - YES. Andrew

There are no regular loans where the loan would be 125% of the appraised value... so it would have to be the special HARP (Home Affordable Refinance Program) www.HARP-Refinance-MN.com

In the "Good old days" there actually was a product called a 125% mortgage. It was generally a second mortgage that would allow a borrower to access a cash out loan that would allow them to use 125% of the home's worth. Today, however, the concept continues, but this would be a loan where you are refinancing out of one loan and into another, but don't have enough equity to do it with a traditional mortgage. Today, these are called HARP loans. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Certified by the National Association of Mortgage Professionals and Licensed in California and Arizona ~ Licensed in California and Arizona ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950.
