Mortgage Loan Modification Calculator - think Your New cost Today!
This loan modification calculator works off of the Obama mortgage plan guidelines (Ham Program). Under these guidelines, your monthly mortgage cost is capped off at 31% of your net monthly pre tax income. This is terminated by lowering your interest rate to as low as 2%, extending your terms and reducing your balance.
It goes in that order. If the monthly payments are under the 31% cap from reducing the interest rate alone, then that is all your lender will do. If not, they will extend your terms, commonly from 30 years to 40 years. A balance discount is very unlikely since your monthly payments will likely be low enough after the first two options are exercised.
