What is the Second Lien Modification Program?
This program was designed for people that also qualify for the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). The basic qualifications for HAMP include a mortgage taken out before January 1, 2009, the debt cannot exceed $729,750 for a single home, your current income will support a modified payment, and the property could not have been condemned.
There are qualifications for 2MP and all of the criteria must be met for you to qualify for relief. The primary requirement is to have a mortgage was modified under HAMP, you cannot have been convicted of certain crimes, and you cannot have missed three consecutive monthly payments on your HAMP modification. This federally-sponsored program is meant to help you through the tough battle of paying a loan.
