When you started out, all was well. You both had good jobs and could
easily make the payments. The loan you took out was based on your income
then, however, and not what you are making now, which is entirely
different. There is no second job for you now as your spouse is no
longer employed. The unemployment that was being collected helped some,
but is now exhausted and there isn’t any more coming.
That puts you in a quandary. The home you once could easily afford is now impossible to keep up with. Not only are the mortgage payments eating you alive, the cost of utilities and other expenses have also gone up and made everything tougher all the way around. If you could reduce the expenses that go out every month that would keep you going for awhile until things improve or your spouse can go back to work.
Fannie Mae has a provision that may help you to do just that. They may be able to refinance your loan so that your payments will be less. You can base the new loan on the new amount that you owe, which will be much less than your original loan amount if you’ve been paying on it for some time now. Getting a new loan for a reduced amount will help lower the payments. If they can reduce the interest rate as well, you’ll get an even better deal.
Why suffer with the knowledge that you will eventually default and lose the home when there is something you may be able to do about it? The administrators and lenders involved with mortgage loans these days are incredibly busy trying to figure out how to avoid ending up with your home. They really would rather have you retain it and find a way to help you pay off the loan. Their investors count on them to keep the payments coming and you can hardly do that if you lose the home and move out. If you have a Fannie Mae home check with your lender as soon as you see potential trouble ahead.
