Anyone heard of this?
You basically renegotiate your loan for your home with your mortgage company. They usually do it as opposed to having you stop making payments and they have to foreclose.

Have not only heard of it, but have been actively engaged in researching/investing in it for the past 12 months.

There is a poster on these boards (he can make himself known if he wants to) that was contacted out of the blue because his loans had been sold to a hedge fund in a pool of loan for probably 70 cents on the dollar or less. Anyway, he received a call out of the blue offering a refi (1% lower rate) + a 10% reduction of his principal balance. And this is for a PERFORMING loan that has never shown any signs of stress.

You do have to get lucky to be in one of these pools, but it's definitely worth finding out who actually holds your loan and then seeking a mod.

I can potentially help you depending on the fact pattern.

be careful though. Sometimes that renegotiation results in the loan going from non-recourse to them being able to frick up your life if you default.

let me know if you see my loan. I'd be happy to engage in such a rework.

I'm all for a 10% reduction and 1% off--how do I sign up . Perhaps I should just stress my mortgage to get US Bank re-negotiating with me. After all, they are the fourth bank to own my mortgage in the past two years.

Find out the name of your loan servicer. That will be the easiest way to determine if a hedge fund has it at a lower price.

Unlikely that the loan was transfered, then.

the loan did have to be in place for at least 12 months. He just had to show that he was about to have trouble paying and rather than put him in foreclosure, they lowered his rate. Ive seen the paperwork. Has a guaranteed refundable cost if it doesnt work. Might be worth a shot.

The only response from citimortgage my SIL got was a ad for her to sign up to biweekly pay for a fee of $375. They are fricking crooks.

He applied...info and hardship letter, etc. The company went to his mortgage people and renegotiated his loan. 3 weeks later he received a notice saying his loan was in forebearnace and to not make payments until it was complete. The forebearnace part means they are restructuring his loan, and when they are donwe with that, he begins to pay his reduced mortgage. No payments while in forebearance.

Remember there is a fee to have this done. Like 2000-3000. May be worth it to some.
