Being behind on mortgage payments can provide a huge hurdle for borrowers looking to refinance into a more affordable interest rate.  HUD recently announced a new refinance program available through FHA called "FHASecure".  The refinance program is for borrower who are feeling the effects of a subprime adjustable rate mortgage and have become behind on payments because of the increase in their monthly payment.

The ideal candidate for this program is a homeowner who:

•  Made all their mortgage payments on time, until the adjustment of their interest rate began and caused a financial stress. 

This FHA program is great because it provides flexibility in qualifying by allowing borrowers to finance their delinquent payments into their new mortgage.  In addition, if the new FHA mortgage is not enough to pay off the existing first lien, including arrearages and closing costs, FHA is allowing the lender to execute a second mortgage at closing for any difference.
