If you have never heard of the Value Gap Refinance, you probably will. The Value Gap Refinance program means that there is a guarantor making up the difference between the existing mortgage and the present value of the home. Sound like a dream come true? It will help those who are underwater but it certainly doesn’t change the economy….at least not at this moment.
The difference would need to be established by getting an appraisal of course, that way it is clear what the value is based on the current market. The homeowner would then obtain a new loan at 100 percent of the property’s value and at the current rates.
The homeowner is responsible for paying off the balance, but not the dollar figure that creates that gap. When the home is eventually resold to another buyer down the road, the government will pay the difference between the final selling price and the original loan balance. It’s a program that has been a long time coming, and helping people is what it’s all about.
