Could a borrower who doesn't qualify under HARP because the original loan was a jumbo (not Fannie or Freddie, he's sure)refinance under FHA? He has about 15% equity but are there any places now where FHA limits would exceed Fannie / Freddie limits? I did advise him to check makinghomeaffordable.com to see if his DTI would make him eligible for a modification. The guy has a perfectly good 5/1 hybrid but is unnerved about an impending ARM conversion. No credit problems either. Okay, now I’m really confused.
