Foreclosure Relief audio conference (E1)

Product Details

The Obama administration has just released the guidelines for its Home Affordable Modification program, the most aggressive and potentially far-reaching government effort to stem the tide of foreclosures sweeping over the country. While the new guidelines spell out how mortgage servicers can immediately start offering a new breed of loan modifications that offer lender, servicer and borrower incentives, they also leave a host of unanswered questions.

Find out what can and can’t be done with the new HAM program at a must-attend audio conference from Inside Mortgage Finance on April 2 at 3:00 p.m. EDT. Learn from a panel of mortgage industry experts about the ins and outs of this new program, and how you can maximize your involvement in the government’s latest foreclosure relief initiative.

Under the government’s new program, mortgage servicers, borrowers and investors will be paid for successfully completing loan modifications following strict guidelines for income verification and payment reductions. But details remain unclear on exactly how some of the incentives will work – particularly those involving second liens or home price depreciation.
