HAFA - WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND WHY DO i CARE ?
Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA)
HAFA is a complex program, with 43 pages of guidelines and forms, designed to simplify and streamline use of short sales and deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure. HAFA is part of the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP), providing incentives in connection with a short sale or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (DIL) used to avoid foreclosure on a loan eligible for modification under the HAMP program.
These guidelines go into effect April 2010!
Eric: There have been lots and lots of people on AR and beyond who have been over-selling the HAFA program. As you state, we are in a wait and see mode, and we have about 7 weeks more to go!
More guidelines, I am so excited! Melissa above- yup.

Thanks for sharing the information, question now is will it work?
Good luck and success.
