As the saying goes "there is no free lunch" and apparently this holds true in regard to Home Loan Modifications too. I just found this out, so if everybody else already knows this, then this may not be earth shattering. During the Home Loan Modification period of seven years, (for the plan I saw) the lender lowers the interest rate on the mortgage to get the borrower to a range of 31% of their income for their mortgage payment. What I did not know was that the lender adds the amount of savings the borrower receives to the end of the loan (7 comments)
