We transfered our property into our trust and have been told that disqualifies us under HARP. Why is that?

Can't we just transfer it back out of the trust to refinance under HARP? by kriste_524_386 from Roseville, California. Feb 3rd 2013 Reply

True. With certain lenders that is, but not with us. As long as the trust is a Living Revocable Trust, then we can help. Give me a call and let me get you going. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in California and Arizona ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

This shouldn't make a difference. Yes, maybe you would need to deed it back out of trust so the way you hold title matches to Fannie or Freddie's records. Small issue, but to be safe, we would all need to know what type of trust you used.

You are getting bad information if it is a Revocable living trust. Talk to another Local lender.

Generally speaking, your best rate loans (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA) only lend to PEOPLE. They do not lend to Trusts or LLCs. Trusts are possible, but they require a lot of extra work, and an Attorney Opinion. LLC's are possible too, But will generally be a portfolio loan (higher rate).

As long as the trust is revocable and you have retained certain rights as the trustee, you should be ok. The Trust Agreement is going to dictate whether you can do the loan in the name of the Trust or not.

You should be able to transfer back to your name and refinance the loan.

Hello. When you have a residential loan Fannie and Freddie guidelines will not allow lending to Trusts, LLC's or Coporations. What you need to do in order to be eligible for HARP 2.0 or any other residential loan program for that matter, is transfer the title from your trust into your name once its in your name your can refinance the loan, after the loan closes you can then transfer the title back into your trust. If you would like to discuss this more, I work in Folsom and we are currently using Fidelity Title in Roseville off Douglass Blvd. Please Contact me at 888-655-1239 or at www.StatusMortgage.com
