Overview


 

The Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP, is a federal program to assist homeowners in Rocksprings, FL with refinancing their home loans to a lower interest rate. Homeowners who are underwater on their loan, or those with little equity, are encouraged to apply.

The HARP program is also known as the Obama Refinance Program, or Obama Mortgage, as it was put in place by President Barack Obama's administration.

If you are not behind on your payments, but cannot obtain refinancing through traditional means because your home in Rocksprings, FL is worth less or you are underwater, you may be eligible for a HARP refinance.

HARP Closing Costs in Rocksprings, FL

You will need to pay closing costs when you do a HARP refinance, but you can roll these costs into your new mortgage. There are limits, however. Fannie Mae caps the closing costs at 4 percent of your existing balance.

If your closing costs are higher, you will need to pay the rest out of pocket.

How to Apply for a HARP Loan in Rocksprings, FL

You do not need to do a HARP refinance through the same lender who originated your original mortgage. In fact, not all mortgage servicers participate in the program, but most do. The cost of the refinance will vary by lender, so it pays to compare closing costs and rates to get the best deal.
