BofA Rolls Out Plan to Forgive Principal

From Daily Real Estate News, June 3, 2010...

Bank of America announced Wednesday that it was rolling out a relief program for roughly 45,000 of its most troubled borrowers that would reduce mortgage principal by as much as 30 percent.

To be eligible, homeowners must have missed at least two monthly payments and owe 20 percent or more than their home is worth. Homes must have been originally financed by Countrywide Financial Corp. under specific lending programs.

The offer is a result of an agreement with state attorneys general that settles charges over high-risk loans made by Countrywide. The federal government will pay 18 percent of the forgiven principal.
