If your loan is held by Freddie or Fannie, you might qualify for a refi or loan mod. First, find out if your loan is held by Fannie or Freddie. Contact them here to find out. They give you the phone number to call Fannie and Freddie directly to see if your loan is held by one: http://www.financialstability.gov. For an idea whether you even qualify, even if your loan is held by Fannie or Freddie, you can calculate your eligibility here: http://www.making-home-affordable.com I 19d also call HUD. I don 19t have their number but you go to: http://www.hud.gov And last but not least is MortgageBreakDown, in my opinion one of the best new mortgage sites for independant information available. Easy to read, navigate and contains solid information: http://www.mortgagebreakdown.com
