FHA HAMP


Making Home Affordable/FHA
 Available for FHA loans that are at least one
month delinquent, but no more than 12
months delinquent.
 Homeowner cannot have intentionally
defaulted.
 Modification will be re-amortized over 30
years.
 Mortgagee must give the mortgagor the
opportunity to qualify for the program before
proceeding with the foreclosure process


FHA-HAMP Partial Claim
 Mortgagees can use a Partial Claim in order
to reduce principal with the goal of achieving
a 31% DTI for the mortgagor.
 The maximum one-time only principal
reduction on the modification is determined
by multiplying the outstanding principal
balance of the existing mortgage as of the
date of default by 30 percent, reduced by
arrearage amounts advanced to cure the
default for up to 12 months PITI and
allowable foreclosure costs.


FHA-HAMP Partial Claim Example
John and Anna – Reduction of income To fulfill the 31% Housing Ratio

 Delinquent: 3 months  New Payment: $1,085

• Maximum principal deferment is $41,340 (30% of $150,000, less the $3,660 delinquency, or
$45,000 - $3,660)
• Based on their gross income, mortgagor is eligible only for a principal deferment of $19,069
plus $3,660 arrearages (which would include any foreclosure costs incurred to that point, in
accord with Mortgagee Letter 2008-21)

front end DTI for the borrower

Net Present Value
The NPV model used in the HMP takes into account the principal
factors that can influence the cash flow, including:
1. The value of the home relative to the size of the mortgage.
2. The likelihood that the loan will be foreclosed on.
3. Trends in home prices.
4. The cost of foreclosure including: legal expenses, lost interest
during the time required to complete the foreclosure action,
property maintenance costs, and expenses involved in reselling
the property.
5. The cost of the modification including:
• a lower monthly payment from the borrower,
• the likelihood the borrower will default even after the loan is
modified,
• financial incentives provided by the government, and
• the likelihood that a loan will be paid off before its term expires
(prepayment probability).

Net Present Value Test
Servicers must perform the NPV Test at least twice:
1. When qualifying the Borrower for the Trial Period
2. When finalizing the Modification

If the NPV Test is Negative and principal forbearance is
needed to achieve the target payment, the mark-to-market
LTV ratio cannot be less than 100%.

If the mark-to-market LTV ratio is less the 100%, the
borrower can only qualify for HMP if the result is NPV
positive, ( there are some exceptions - Section C65.7(c)
If the NPV Test is Positive, the servicer will proceed with the
modification process

MODIFICATION WATER FALL SYSTEM
1. Capitalization of Arrearages: Accrued interest, real estate taxes and other
arrearages (excluding late fees) may be capitalized and added to the principal
balance of the mortgage loan.

2. Interest Rate Reduction: First, the interest rate will be reduced (subject to a
floor of 2%) in increments of 0.125% in order to bring the monthly payment as
close to the target Front-End DTI level as possible without going below 31%.

3. Reamortization of Principal: Next, if the interest rate reduction has not
achieved the target Front-End DTI, the servicer shall extend the term of the
mortgage loan or the length of amortization, as applicable, to up to 40 years in
order to reach the target Front-End DTI ratio.

4. Principal Forbearance: Next, if the interest rate reduction and
reamortization have not achieved the target Front-End DTI, the servicer shall
set aside principal to reach the target Front-End DTI ratio.

5. Principal Forgiveness: While not a requirement under the standard waterfall,
servicers have the option to forgive principal at any point in the waterfall.
