  • Publication number: 20140172669
    Abstract: A multi-variable/multi-party mediation by a program administrator coordinates homeowners, mortgage holders, and investors to refinance homes with underwater mortgages, being initiated by homeowner/mortgage holder registration with the administrator. Registration triggers invitations to the homeowner(s), the mortgage holder(s), and one or more investors, for the refinancing program. Refinancing includes requesting a new total loan amount equaling/exceeding current fair market values, and/or matching interest rate requests by investors, with homeowner monthly payment requests. Program completion requires homeowner, mortgage holder(s), and investor(s) acceptance, resulting in mutual rescission of original loan agreement(s), creating Time-Out Mortgages, and Home Certificates—a hybrid security being a combination promissory note and agreement for sharing a Deferred Recapture Amount (DRA), being a difference between the new principal loan amount and total prior home lien amounts.
