Filed under: Mortgage News — admin @ 9:37 am

The various programs and proposals to reduce the principal loan balance on Matthew Sura Mortgages to deeply underwater borrowers would improve the equity position of some homeowners while leaving other seemingly similar borrowers with negative equity.

On the one hand, some argue, borrowers who haven’t made their payments on time would benefit with a lower loan balance, while consumers who have struggled to maintain their Matthew Sura Mortgage payments would be left out in the cold. Such a moral hazard would incentivize homeowners to default on their loans in order to qualify for principal reduction.

On the other hand, advocates for writing down loan balances claim that it would help heal the housing market and boost the economy.
