MGC’s servicing division is experienced in conventional and government loan servicing as well as government specialty products which require additional and specific servicing requirements. MGC is one of only a small handful of servicers that are experienced in the servicing of the following products:
Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (Reverse Mortgages)
The concept of Home Equity Conversion Mortgages centers on seniors being able to borrow against the equity in their home without having to repay the borrowed amount while the loan remains in good standing.
Partial Claim Loss Mitigation Mortgages
A Partial Claim mortgage is a Loss Mitigation option available to borrowers to assist them in the reinstatement of their delinquent mortgage (up to 12 months). Lenders advance funds on behalf of a borrower in an amount necessary to reinstate the delinquent loan. A note and mortgage are issued to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
Good Neighbor Next Door Sales Program
This program enables officers, teachers, firefighters or emergency responders to purchase and live in HUD-acquired homes located in revitalization areas and the communities they serve at a 50 percent discount from list prices in furtherance of HUD’s mission to promote homeownership and the revitalization of cities.
Asset Control Area Program Loans
Under this program, HUD owned properties located within designated revitalization areas are made available for sale to eligible units of general local government, nonprofit organizations and for-profit groups, which have obtained prior HUD approval to participate in the ACA Program.
The Nehemiah Housing Opportunity Grants Program
Under this program, HUD to made grants to nonprofit organizations to enable them to provide loans to families purchasing homes that were constructed or substantially rehabilitated by the non-profit. Although the program has been discontinued, the portfolio of existing loans continues to be serviced by MGC.
Section 235 Payment Assistance Recapture Program
This program enabled low income borrowers to qualify and retain ownership of a home by providing payment assistance for the borrower. The subsidized payment amount is subject to repayment if the borrower sells or refinances the property. Loans that have been assigned to HUD are still eligible to receive subsidized payments. While 235 loans are no longer originated there are several thousand loans that are still currently receive subsidy payments.
Hope for Homeowners Program (H4H)
On July 30, 2008, the President signed into law the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 as a response to the nation’s current mortgage crisis. One of the components includes the Hope for Homeowners (H4H) program. The program will allow homeowners the opportunity to refinance their existing mortgage into new FHA loan at an amount equal to 90% of their property’s value thereby reducing the risk of the loss of their residence to a foreclosure.
