Under Water Home Owners Gets Help: HARP!

HARP 2.0 May Be The Answer

Let’s say you are a home owner in Tennessee. You purchased your home before June of 2009. During that time rates were a lot higher than where they are today. You may have tried to refinance your home in the last year or so. Did they tell you that your mortgage balance is a lot more than what your home is worth? Sadly, I have been hearing this more often in not in the last couple of years. It was no fault of your own that your home value decreased after you purchased your home. I am sure you bought this home as a life long investment. All you are trying to do is to lower your interest rate to these historical lows that they are at now. So what can you do to refinance at today’s rates if your owe more than its worth? Luckily home owners in my state of Tennessee and all throughout the country have an answer, HARP 2.0 (Home Affordable Refinance Program)!
