If you are trying to get a Bank of America modification, you can expect a good rate if you qualify.
Many B of A customers are trying to modify their loans these days are reduce their payments. But how low will their payments go?
After speaking with a leading modifier of these loans, they have told me that most of these loans are seeing interest rate reductions an average of 3%. This means that if your loan is 7.5% right now, you could reasonalby expect to get an interest rate of 4.5%. This would significantly reduce the amount of your monthly payment.
Every persons situation is different and when it comes to loan modifications you really never know what to expect. That is why it is good to go with a company who can prequalify you for a B of A loan modification and tell you exactly what your rate will be if you do choose to proceed.
This is the best way to approach the situation, because if your new payment is still going to be tough or impossible for you to afford, you should look at alternatives. Trying to get a short sale is the best alternative if you need to get out of your home with minimal damage to your credit. If you wait to long and end up being foreclosed upon, you should speak with your lender and try to negotiate cash for keys. This is where you keep your house nice instead of destroying it and the bank rewards you for this. It costs lenders alot of money to fix up foreclosures that have excessive damage.
One more thing, if you do qualify for a Bank of America modification, certain companies can actually complete the modification in a very short time frame. As little as a few days. They can also push back your first payment to further ease your financial burden. I have heard of some people who don't have to make the first payment for as much as 3 months, which would give you ample time to save up as much money as possible and turn your bad situation into a blessing!
