Second Lien Modification Program (2MP)
If your first mortgage was permanently modified under HAMP and you have a second mortgage on the same property, you may be eligible for a modification or principal reduction on your second mortgage under 2MP. 2MP is designed to work in tandem with HAMP to provide a comprehensive solution for homeowners with second mortgages to increase long-term affordability and sustainability. If the servicer of your second mortgage is participating, they will automatically evaluate you for a second lien modification.
You may be eligible to apply if you meet all of the following:
- Your first mortgage was modified under HAMP.
- You must not have been convicted within the last 10 years of felony larceny, theft, fraud or forgery, money laundering or tax evasion, in connection with a mortgage or real estate transaction.
- You have not missed three consecutive monthly payments on your HAMP modification.
- You owe more than $5,000 on your second mortgage.
- Your monthly second mortgage payment is more than $100.
