As a part of the Economic Stimulus Bill, jumbo mortgage limit has been extended especially in higher cost areas. And recently rates on jumbo loans have also dropped down. But in spite of this, borrowers aren’t able to make use of the rate cut or the extended limit. This is because even though rates have gone down, lenders have tightened their lending criteria.
Once again a Bill has been passed on Thursday 8th May 2008 to relieve millions of homeowners who are facing problem with their mortgage payments.

I find a lot of websites offering mortgage quotes online itself. What I mean is, not simply applying for quotes online but applying as well as getting the quotes online. Whether it is preferable or not, is quite controversial. Some say it's fast and easy, and you don't have to take out time to visit the lender's office or call up to discuss your financial situation and do some analysis before getting the loan. While others like me feel the best is to have a talk with the lender/broker.

Hi All,

Are you in a situation where the lender has declared foreclosure and you don’t know what the next step is for you? Well, there are workout options such as an alternative repayment plan, loan modification, or a partial claim to try out for. But such things are ok only if you wish to preserve the home.
What if you wish to move out? Well, you’d probably negotiate for a short sale if you’re upside down on the mortgage. Or perhaps you may try to negotiate for a deed-in-lieu because this is one option where you need not pay the deficiency as the law says.
