Based on the new HAMP guidelines from the Supplemental Di rective 12-02 d ate d  XX/XX/XXXX , titled " Making Home Affordable Program- MHA Extensio n and Expansion '' by the Obama  Administration  which is effective now, here is a list of the some of the new changes : Expansion of eligibility : HAMP was designed to bring the debt ratio of mortgage borrowers down to 31 % of their income. Those whose mortgage payments were already below that level had been ineligible for a modification. They may qualify now. The new guidelines will allow for a more flexible approach that takes other debt into account when calculating debt-to-income ratios. Extension of eligibility to owners of rentals properties : The old HAMP rules applied solely to owner-occupied homes but now those who own rental properties may also qualify for a HAMP modification. Triple balance-reduction incentives : The new HAMP will pay between  XXXX  cents and  XXXX  cents for every dollar that lenders take off the mortgage principal, up from between  XXXX  cents and  XXXX  cents. Pay  XXXX  and  XXXX  the same incentives : Currently,   XXXX   XXXX   and  XXXX   XXXX  do not offer principal reduction plans as part of their HAMP modifications. To encourage this assistance, Treasury said it will pay the same principal reduction incentives to   XXXX   XXXX   or  XXXX   XXXX  if they allow servicers to forgive principal in conjunction with a HAMP modification.
