The mortgage industry is scrambling – if not struggling – to get more distressed homeowners into the government’s Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). But the pace of so-called permanent modifications is slow as servicers face a host of obstacles, ranging from second liens and vanishing borrower income, to a lack of required documentation. Meanwhile, the government is continuing to tweak HAMP to make it easier to use while promoting additional foreclosure alternatives such as short sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosures.
Learn about the latest challenges and developments with HAMP at an Inside Mortgage Finance audio conference March 4 at 2 pm ET. Hear what Bank of America, the largest mortgage servicer in the country, is doing to accommodate HAMP. You’ll also hear from a top attorney and other experts who will discuss the program, its challenges and their best practices advice.
The government has just rolled out new documentation requirements, including a key change that borrower income has to be verified before a trial mod can even be started. Will this significantly increase the pace of permanent HAMP modifications or just slow down the number of trial modifications? And what will it mean for the hundreds of thousands of trial mods already out there without adequate documentation? Get answers to these and other questions surrounding HAMP in 2010.
