ok, i am not behind in my mortgage,my house is really under water, my property value is dropping even more next year I am told,

and my interest rate is really high at 8.25. I do not have a freddie or a fannie. my lender citimortgage reduced my interest rate to 5.75 on a temp basis because that is all they could do. that time is almost up. what can I do.? I am looking for any incentive here. I would love a lower permanet interest rate, but I am open to any option right now. I would like to stay in the house for awhile longer, but I am way overpaying for what the house is worth. Help! by jvanne_353_837 from Saint Paul, Minnesota. Oct 21st 2012 Reply

So Citi said you don't qualify for the HARP refinance because your loan is not owned by Freddie or Fannie, correct? Did you have a Loan Modification done? Have you check for yourself that your loan is not owned by Freddie/Fannie to be certain? Go to these two websites FIRST https://www.knowyouroptions.com/loanlookup -OR- https://ww3.freddiemac.com/corporate/ Check back in with all of us for further advice.

If your loan is not owned by Fannie or Freddie then it is simply not HARP eligible and your only options to refinance are with your current servicer, Citigroup.

If your loan is not Fannie, Freddie, FHA, or VA - there is really no REFINANCE option. Your only option is to again attempt something with your current servicer (CitiMortgage). I'm right here in St Paul... There is good news on the horizon. In our local market, average home values have INCREASED 15.1% in the past 7 months.
