Home Upside Down
Home Upside Down is a term referred to a home when the home-owner owes more
than the current market value of the home.
For instance, if the home-owner has a loan for $400,000 and the value of the home
is $200,000, the home is upside down and has negative equity of $200,000.
Upside Down on Home: Should I walk away?
Absolutely not. Luckily, you are not the only one in this situation. The
rising rate of foreclosures and short sales is driving down prices of homes
in all neighborhoods and more people find themselves to be upside down on
their homes.
If there was a solution available for you to get rid of the negative equity
in your home and get back into a loan with a little bit of equity, would you
walk away?
In the above example for instance, the home-owner can get a new loan for $180,000;
thus wiping away $200,000 of negative equity and adding $20,000 for positive
equity. This solution is known as Principal Reduction and more information
on Principal Reduction

How to refinance when you are upside down on your home?
Conventional refinancing will not work for an upside down home.
Conventional rules for refinancing require that the home-owner
have positive equity in their home.
However,
Principal Reduction is a newer form of refinancing which erases the
the negative equity in a home and lets the home-owner in a more
desirable situation of having some positive equity in their home.
If the home-owner has no income coming in, he will not be eligible for
Principal reduction and should apply for a Loan Modification. Visit us to
