What’s New with HARP 2.0?

• Loan to value restrictions will be removed for owner occupied homes.

• Borrowers opting for mortgages with fixed terms amortized less than 30 years will have preferred pricing.

• Expanded guidelines are being released in phases as Fannie, Fannie and lenders implement the new changes.







Home Affordable Refi Features

Allows refinancing at current historically low rates.

No private mortgage insurance for homes that currently do not have pmi (even if current loan to values are over 80%).

securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac prior to June 1, 2009. NOTE: “Securitized” is different than your closing date and often takes place weeks after the actual closing.– Check to see if your mortgage is securitized by Fannie
