Determining Mortgage Modification Eligibility on the Web

In an earlier blog entry and Nolopedia article, I explain the basic requirements for refinancing a mortgage and having your payment reduced under the Obama administration's implementation of the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan.

Now the government has put up a user-friendly website dedicated to helping you determine whether you are eligible to have your mortgage refinanced or your mortgage payment reduced under this new law  In addition to eligibility determinations, the website helps you find a HUD-certified housing counselor and, in a resource section, provides calculators to help you determine your debt to income ratio and your likely payment if you qualify for the program. If you are wondering whether the Obama Administration's mortgage modification programs will help you out, this is definitely the website of choice.
