A statement from the Treasury Department, said: “The current crisis is real, but only temporarily. As home prices fall, demand for housing is increasing and, finally, is a new balance. But in the failure to act decisively, we run the risk of intensifying the spiral, the lender in isolation, pressure Home prices even lower, thus the value of household savings, making it difficult for all families and refinance.

In order to avoid intensifying the spiral of real estate, the Obama administration has two sub-plan. The first part deals with the need to modify loans to the tune of four million struggling homeowners, while the latter helps to five million borrowers refinancing loans by the government control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The 75 billion dollars, includes five functions (as in the treasury department, the document):

* An amendment to Affordable Home program up to 3 to 4 million homeowners at risk

* Clear and uniform rules for lending changes

* The requirement that financial stability recipient Use Plan Treasury Guidelines lending changes

* Because of judicial changes during insolvency Home Mortgage If a borrower has no other options

* The demand for monitoring, reporting and quarterly meetings with the Treasury, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve and performance of HUD

* Strengthening the FHA program and the provision of assistance to local communities

The guidelines provide clear and consistent to determine that borrowers have their last tax return and two terms of evidence, and a “declaration of emergency financial assistance for the right to change the loan program. Making the Home benefit plan “is no money for the speculators, and is on the support of the working group home and apartments, which have to do everything possible to stay on their current mortgage payment.”

This plan is aimed in particular to the owners of mortgage upside down, if the value of the apartment, and more than the borrower in the home is worth. To refinance the banks, usually require at least 20% of equity in the home, but in the context of cash, loans guaranteed by the Government will benefit from home during low rates of interest.

Other highlights of the plan to help borrowers are at a high level of total debt (including car loans and credit cards), indicating, in HUD certified consumer debts. However, more than 729,750 mortgages are not eligible. The goal is accessibility for loans not exceeding 31% of the income of the borrower. The plan, lasting until 2010, only the loans granted before 1 January 2009.

This plan provides credit, investors, service providers, borrowers, and the government in the hope that significant progress in stabilizing the housing market and economy of the worst recession in decades. Maybe they feel less vulnerable as owners, they will grow in other sectors of the economy.
