When trying to obtain a home loan modification, one thing most people want to know up-front is, “Do I qualify for a home loan modification?”

Underwriters evaluate the ratio between your income and your mortgage payments first.

Next, the underwriters look at your monthly expenses and compare these next to your mortgage payments. They subtract your mortgage payments and expenses from your income; this value cannot be in the negative in order for you to qualify.

If your debt to income ratio is OK and your expenses are not too high, you should qualify for a home loan modification which will save your home from foreclosure.
