Good Morning Klynn,
Several members here have received modifications offering a "step-up rate"...including myself. Each person's situation is different. In my case, I refused the modification because I needed a permanent fix to my mortgage problem (interest only ARM). The step-up rate would have only delayed the inevitable for me. The inevitable being foreclosure. I decided to use the NACA because they work to restructure loans to a 30 year fixed at a low rate. Last week, I received an email stating that the proposal submitted by the NACA was approved by
CW and my new rate was 2% for the life of the loan (still awaiting paperwork). This will take almost $1,000 off my monthly mortgage payment and keep me in my home.
If this is the only property you own, you may want to check out the link below. The NACA is a Hud approved, non-profit organization that helps responsible homeowners who are struggling with their monthly mortgage payments. Their services are free.
