OHSI continues to engage in discussions about these policies at a national level, and will post any new announcements on this website and to newsletter subscribers. TIP: You can find out if your mortgage is owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac by using their online lookup tools..

  • What is the approximate loan to value of your home?

    The LRAPP Program is specifically designed for homeowners that have negative equity, or are "underwater" in their homes. The value in the field below represents the value of your home, based on information from Zillow.com. It is just an estimate and does not necessarily take into account unique features or characteristics of your home or neighborhood. Applicants for the program will have their home values assessed through a Current Market Analysis (CMA) before an offer is made and a Broker's Price Opinion (BPO) before a loan is finalized. That value will inform program eligibility and the short sale offer amount, if one is made. If you have had a recent appraisal or current market analysis and the amount differs from Zillow, you can enter the amount the Appraised Value field.
