I'm hearing about this new Pres. Obama thing for people who are 125% upside down on their mortgages for loans that are from or guaranteed by Fanny Mae or Freddy Mac. I know neither is my lender, but how can I tell if my loan is guranteed by either one?
When you signed your original mortgage, it likely would have said that there was a guarantor. If you didn't put down a full 20% then you are probably guaranteed under FHA (which is a government program). So I would check your mortgage paperwork, it will be on there.
