While millions of homeowners struggle with being in, or frightfully close to foreclosure, it would seem well advised for more banks to approve the modification of loans on their books; before of course they got into foreclosure.

You would think.

On July 28th, the U.S Treasury Department held a meeting with the heads of the top 25 mortgage servicing companies. This meeting was accompanied by ACORN – the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, Neighborworks – the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America and the National Fair Housing Alliance to try and fix the unstable rate in which loan modification are being approved.

Earlier this year, the Obama administration disclosed their foreclosure prevention plan for troubled homeowners. It was estimated that 4 million homeowners could be assisted through this program.

With only 200,000 home being modified since February, and millions currently in foreclosure; one can barely call this progress ratio a success.

What is not being discussed in the media is the reason that so many modifications are being denied. There’s not much information about mortgage modification denials. But anyone can plainly see from the thousands of complaints on forums on the web that more modifications are being denied than approved. This is not a hard fact, rather an educated guess based upon observation.

Why are loan modifications so hard to come by?

The answer is a little factor called Net Present Value.

On September 15, 2008, the Mortgage Bankers Association held a regulatory compliance conference. At the conference, a presentation was made to the members of the MBA discussing

Net Present Value analysis and Loan Modifications. The primary focus was onhow mortgage bankers and servicers should use Net Present Value analysis to ascertain what is in the best interest of investors?.

Did you catch that? What is in the best interest of the investors not whats in the best interest of the Home Owners..

Boiling it down, Net Present Value or NPV considers the value of a dollar today and then compares it to the same dollar in the future. NPV is used to calculate the investors’ risk by comparing the value of the mortgage modified verse the amount gain in foreclosure.

Truth be told, while all the paperwork you need to file with your lender when requesting a modification may be perfectly filled out and you may look ?on paper? like a perfect candidate for a modification, you can still be denied because of an NPV calculation your lender performs. Fair? Probably not. But it is the reality of the game. And unfortunately, there is not all that much you can do about it except for this?

If you are speaking to an attorney or other loan modification expert and they say something like We have handled thousands of loan modifications and we’ll be able to get one for you, run like hell.

In all honesty, there isn’t a company or attorney that has thousands of modifications on their record. I you are seeking help with your modification, ask them about Net Present Value. If they can’t answer you, then obviously you’re seeking the wrong help.

Why theres no HOPE in Loss Mitigation

 

An onlooker assessing the eminent threat to the American way of life could easily see that it’s not Al-Qaeda terrorizing our lives; but our creditors. The American Foreclosure Epidemic has spun to a all time high and sits in the grip of a loathing limelight. More than 861,664 foreclosures were reported in 2008 says CNNMoney.com and with foreclosures up 81%, a call to action must be sound.

The call has been heard by the press and the Loss Mitigation industry has seen a great deal of scrutiny, highlighting a multitude of fraudulent dealings. But what evidence do we have that the call has been applied by the Loan Modification. Even though President Obama has called forth a restructure of the process and lenders are being bailed, who is to say that the banks are not still on the winning side?

Obama’s Foreclosure Rescue Act threw a $75 billion lifeline to home owners towards a government effort stimulate loan modifications. Counting the current track record:

•The FHA Secure: projected to help 80,000 Actually Helped 266
•Hope for Homeowners: Projected to help 400,000 Actually helped 312

Now we can hope with 75 billion riding the ticket we may be able to break a thousand, but
realistically where does that put 98% of all home owners? Now I agree we have to act aggressively and quickly to solve the uprising uprising. However were here other alternatives much more significant that we could have been addressed a long time ago?

The St Petersburg Times recently covered a story about a senate bill which that would have allowed bankruptcy judges to modify primary residential homes facing foreclosure. This modification referred to as cramdown, not only would this have helped hundreds of thousands of Americans facing foreclosure, but would have encouraged a level playing field between Banks, Loan Modification Company and Court.

Through the favor of the lobbyist this motion has been put on the shelf even though endorsed by the President. Cramdown would have given the loan modification epidemic a much more local control avoiding the bank run around and trickled paper filings. These stalls from the Banks, experts say, could be from their massive amounts of paperwork, or realistically to not mark the books with the accurate numbers of the loss on mortgages.

With the financial mogul’s Freddie and Fannie being bailed out for $280 billion and the recent rulings to an only allow the lenders to modify loans under their investors scrutiny, Americans have a new terror threat to its “home land stability” A threat even greater then we have experienced through the tyrannical control of the quality of life and economical stability. We Americans are at the forefront of a threat that resemblances the same guile to the oil industry.
