Homeowner's all around the nation today should have hope from the foreclosure relief plan that President Bush released.  Since the foreclosure rate has risen to all time highs this much needed relief to many homeowners that carry subprime Adjustable Rate Mortgages.  Bush said that 1.2 million people could be eligible for assistance.  He also stated that others will be considered for help with refinancing.  Call the hotline 1-888-995-HOPE to see if you are eligible for the relief.  Remember, you have to ask to receive!

As a Realtor and homeowner, I am glad the White House finally stepped up and addressed the current foreclosure situation.  I applaud President Bush for his actions to aid homeowners all around the nation.  Time will tell if this is the only relief needed or if more drastic measures will have to be taken.  Some people think that the relief is not nearly enough.  Maybe they need to count their blessings for the relief that is being given instead of wanting a perfect solution.  Your comments are welcome.

I wish this was as good as it sounds , however this is nothing more than a political move. It looks like Bush is doing something substantial, but it really has no impact.

Consider this,... one of the criteria to qualify for the rate freeze is to not have been 30 days late since the current loan has been in place. There were so many good 100% financing programs available 2 years ago that good borrowers did not have to get subprime loans for these purchases. I would speculate that 75% (or more) of the subprime loans originated 2 years ago were for legitimate subprime borrowers who had sub 600 FICO scores. I would venture to guess that well over half of these people have been late on their mortgage in the last 18 months.

This means that of all the subprime loans that are "targeted" for this interest rate relief - over 50% of them will not qualify due to their mortgage history.
