ArlindaThere is no lender that will agree to give a refinance or equity loan, when there is no equity right now. Their loan would have no collateral.
EmeritaYou OWN nothing, you OWE more than the value of your home. You have Negative equity, no ownership of this home.Not uncommon in this market. Ask lender for loan modification, lowering the interest rate and thus lowering your payments. In some rare cases, they will even decrease principal.Call your lender, keep calling, ask what they're doing for Help for Homeowners. Obama is pressuring lenders to do MORE to work with their borrowers.
