Aldo Svaldi over at the Denver Post recently had this to say about recent government mortgage assistance programs changes:
A new federal loan program designed to help borrowers cope with rising payments on adjustable-rate mortgages is kicking into gear.
An estimated 80,000 borrowers nationally are expected to take advantage of the FHASecure loan program, said Ben Johnson, director of the Denver Homeownership Center with the Federal Housing Administration.
Another 160,000 or so are expected to use other FHA loans to escape their unaffordable mortgages.
The first Colorado borrowers in the program should start receiving their new loans in early November.
Critics say the program doesn’t go far enough to help homeowners.
