I am recently married. I had a home mortgage before the marriage. Can I get a home loan modification?
The house is worth less then I paid. We want to move out of state but will not be able to sell for what we owe. I what to modify my loan terms to lower my payment so I can rent the home out. Will I have to consider my new husbands income in this process if I was the only one on the home loan?

I am Sarah Hamilton.
I live in UNITED STATES. I really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life, i am a struggling mum with three kids and i have been going through rough times in my life, and in all these hard times, a worse incident aoccured, i lost my job which was my only means of survival and things became really bad as i had bills to pay and my last son suffered from a knee injury when he fell from a tree and the doctor informed me that he needed a surgical operation for his knee in order for him to walk again. life was really useless to me as i had no one to run to, and each night i sat down crying until one day, i read an advert on yahoo answers of a man that stated that he could help people in my shoes with loans, base on my desperate situation, i had no choice but to try, and so shocking and suprising, it was like an impossibility becoming a real possibility, even with my bad credit i got a loan of US $50,000 within 48 hours, and my sons surgery was done. I thank God it was successful and now i am okay and living in comfort with my kids, and i said to my self, i have never seen this kind of wonder in my life before. I decided to tell it to the whole world and i need every one to thank God for Mr. David Peak, the man whom God used to rescue me and my family even when all hope had been lost, i need to tell every one that no matter how dark and sinful the world is today, there are still God fearing and reliable people on earth, and if you are in my former situation or require a loan legitimately, i will advice you contact this Godly lender, Mr. David Peak, he is the CEO of PEAK FINANCIAL FIRM INCORPORATED, you can reach him via Email:
I’m posting this message everyday on yahoo answer, in order to express my everlasting gratitude to Mr. David Peak.
Please i need you all to pray for this man for me.


The answer is yes, but you may not like the details.
Yes, you can modify the loans, and add your husband’s name to it. However, the odds of lowering your monthly mortgage payment is practically nil, since the house is worth less than your loan amount. I’m assuming “The house is worth less then I paid” means that the amount of money you owe is less than the house is worth. The term is “underwater”, meaning that the worth of the house is less that the amount of the loan.
You and (soon) your husband are responsible for the total amount of money borrowed from the bank. . . if you lower your monthly payment, it only means you will have to pay more of the payment in the future to make up for the loss.
