| Re: Can We Refinance? I should have asked you also what state you were located in... The Homeowner's Tool box at the left of your screen is an excellent resource as to what you can do ... for example, just off the top of my head, I would recommend drafting a hardship letter and gathering together a monthly expense report as soon as possible, to explore possible loan workout solutions with EMC. While I am not familiar with EMC's tendencies (and others on this forum would be more familiar), I did look at their website, and this direct link may be of assistance as well -- EMC's servicing website https://emcmortgagecorp.com/emcccn/faq/keepmyhome.jsp Please let us know if that will be of use to you, thanks.

| Re: Can We Refinance? Mom...we went through this on another thread...you are understandably very concerned, however the advice is still the same, you need to wait for the higher loan amounts with FHA to come out and determine that that time if the area you are in will allow for a Jumbo Refi with FHA. There are no loans presently that will accommodate your situation, and if you allow panic to drive the decision making in this situation you will most likely end up with a loan worse than the one that you have. Please go back to the original thread and re-read the information that I gave you, this is a lender viewpoint and an underwriters viewpoint on the situation. No one on this forum can achieve the refinance for you, we do not allow the lenders or the brokers to sell loans on this forum. Your situation is very common and until the higher FHA loan limits are established you are not in a position to achieve a refinance yet. The LTV is just that the problem and FHA will relieve that problem. The late payment in August is moot as long as the one in January or Feb came off as you indicated. |

| Re: Can We Refinance? The bill was approved on 2/13/2008, FHA/HUD has 30 days to meet the requirements of determining the High Cost Areas....then on top of that the markets and the guidelines for the Jumbo product have to be rolled out. I am assuming that if all goes well 45 to 60 days for the product to be rolled out and on the underwriting shelf with the markets to sell the end product/loan to. There has to be a TSA or Market to sell these buggers to, the money has to regenerate so that they can make more of them and that is one of the issues that is facing FHA and the Agency loans FNMA and FHLMC....find the markets to sell the product to as it is untested, untried and has no track record. The determination of High Cost is the easy part. The markets and guidelines as well as the Senior Underwriters that can actually safely underwrite these products are the toughies... in this equation. |
