I’m currently working with our lender to do a HARP and I just wanted to know if anyone else out there as been successful with either a HAMP or HARP and if you did qualify for a HARP, what kind rate did you get? I’m only curious and would like to hear your opinion on these programs and or situation. Thanks! and no lame answers please. I’m looking for HOME OWNERS in the same boat, if you don’t own a home, no need to reply to me!
HARP is a successful program and easy to qualify for if your home is owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. As long as your mortgage origination date falls in line with requirements it’s an easy streamlined process. HARP 2 will allow unlimited LTV which means it doesn’t matter how far upside down you are.
HAMP on the other hand is a loan modification program and you have to show a hardship to get this and doing a HAMP mod carries some baggage, such as affecting your credit score negatively and restricting future sales and/or refinances for a period of time. HAMP is a long process and requires patience on your part and the cooperation of your current lender. HARP loans can be done by any lender for you. HAMP must be done with your current lender.
If you qualify for HARP, you will get market rates and in some instances, rates less than a standard refinance because the pricing adjustments for credit score have been capped in HARP.
