There are many ways to look at the current bill in Congress that would allow FHA to take on some of the most risky loans. While I have not been very positive about this situation, if it does happen, what should the average homeowner expect and what should you do to get help?

First, if you are in a situation and need help, do not wait for this bill to pass. Instead, call on FHA as soon as possible. Find out what solutions they may already have in place to help you out of your worrisome mortgage and into a safer one. Many homeowners who are struggling to make ends meet are seeing that they do not have to lose their homes to foreclosure. Instead, they can take advantage of the programs already in place through FHA to get into a more affordable loan.

Granted, not everyone qualifies right now for this opportunity. Let us say you do not qualify for an FHA loan right now. What do you do should Congress pass this bill?

The first step to take is to talk to your mortgage lender about the options they are giving you. Yes, you hate when they call and the pressure they put you under. One thing is for sure: if this bill goes through, you will need to put some pressure on your mortgage lender to put your loan into consideration for help from FHA.

If you do not get the help you need from your mortgage lender, the next best move for you to make is to contact FHA directly or through another lender offering FHA loans. Many lenders will be more at ease to pass off these loans onto the FHA especially if they are high risk. Therefore, it may be your opportunity to make your move.

There are a few things to avoid.

#1: Do your best to stay in the loan right now, making payments as much as possible. Do not assume that you can just forget about your monthly payment. You should be actively trying to make it.

#2: Do not ignore your current lender. Should the bill pass and your home be in foreclosure to far, you may be out of luck anyway. Therefore, work with your lender. They have more solutions now then they had in the past.

Mortgage help is available to many people currently. If you have not done so yet, find out if an FHA loan can help you. You may be shocked to find out it is just the right opportunity.
