Re: what's a home loan modification?

It's like a refinance but without all the legal paperwork. There are a few papers for you to sign but you don't need an attorney and it's very quick. Basically, you are taking your existing mortgage and modifying it (rate and/or term). There is usually a flat fee and sometimes points (I paid $2k + 1/4 point over the mortgage rate). You do it with the bank that has your existing mortgage. If they sold your mortgage but continue to service it, I don't think the loan is eligible. My bank says I can modify up to once per year.
