President Barack Obama revealed plans for a bank bailout in 2009. Homeowners looking to re-finance their loans can take advantage of this policy. This is an opportunity to modify the specifications of loans already in existence. The loan terms are adjusted by the bank to accommodate the client's difficulties in remunerating the loan.

Treasury Secretary for the U.S. Tim Geithner recently announced the government's plan to confide over $1 trillion in reforms to rescue the financial system of the country. In fact, a good amount of fund from this package will go into financing loan purchases and reviving the economy through modified lending activity.

The Bailout Plan mainly aims to stop the home foreclosures and make housing more affordable by reduction in interest rates. It also encourages the homeowners to go for loan modification instead of home foreclosures.

Agenda Of The Plan:

The stipulations of the Bank Bailout Plan are as follows:

1. New laws state that the amount of the loan must exceed the current market value of the property by 105%.

2. The modified monthly payments cannot exceed 31% of the total monthly income.

3. All of the loans and payments must not total more than 55% of the homeowner's earnings before taxes are deducted.

4. If the banks agree to change the terms of the loan, they will receive a $1,000 bonus per loan that is changed.

5. $75 trillion dollars has been set aside by Obama to pay for this program. The nation's government is also going to offer not-for-profit advisors to meet with and assist homeowners who are currently facing property foreclosures.

Aim:

The Bank Bailout Plan has four goals:

1. It will stabilize the system and amend confidence in the financial markets. The federal bank regulators will support to strengthen the banks to repair the deteriorating economy.

2. The program will loosen up credit lines to individuals and companies.

3. The Bank Bailout program will revive the nation's economy and allow for adaptablity with loan modifications currently in progress.

The Bank Bailout Plan intends to lower the number of property foreclosures and make the frozen housing market fluid once again.

The plan naturally may not be helpful for all the home loan borrowers, but is certainly a positive step to bring stabilization in the slumping real estate market through loan modification.
