A HOME LOAN MODIFICATION is a negotiated change made to an existing home loan by a home loan modification professional that effectively reduces the home loan payments to an amount that the home owner can better afford.
The payment is reduced to up to 31% of the home owner’s income to loan ratio, and so the program is therefore only really of any use to those home owners who have home loan payments that exceed 31% of their monthly income.
