One Commonly Overlooked Refinance Program
Still unknown to many, this little-known program called the Enhanced Relief Refinance Mortgage (ERRM) could benefit millions of Americans and reduce their mortgage payments by as much as $3,500 per year.
The aim of this government initiative is to lower your rates, putting more disposable income in your pocket. The program is set to expire in 2020 but the good news though is that once you qualify, you’re in. If reducing your payments, paying off your mortgage, and even taking extra cash out would help you, it’s important you act now.
Putting Money Back Into The Middle Class Did you know if your mortgage is less than $625,000, your chances of qualifying for ERRM could be high. The Government wants the banks to cut your rates, which puts more money in your pocket, ultimately boosting the economy.
But the banks are not happy about this. Here’s why:
- The free program makes it easier to qualify for lower mortgage rates
- You have the option to shop lenders other than your current mortgage holder
- Banks do not like the above. They’d rather make more money by keeping you at the higher rate you financed at years ago.
The average monthly savings is $290. That comes out to $3,500 per year.
On top of the savings, many homeowners could pay off their mortgage faster. Homeowners can even take cash out for home improvements, pay off debt, or pay for their children’s education.
Where Do I Start? With hundreds of mortgage lenders and brokers available, it can take consumers hours to simply contact each one separately and request a quote. The good news is that there are services that could help you save time and money by comparing multiple lenders at once.

I am retired, on Social Security. I have an equity loan and 2 personal loans. I am unable to pay monthly bills.
How do I contact ERRM lenders?
Ann,
The ERRM program is offered through FreddieMac. Any lender that works with them should be able to help you. Which should be most major lenders and brokers.
Hope that helps!

Hi Joyce,
What program is that?
need to find a house.
My wife and I would like to sell our home, but we have a second mortgage(a lien) on the property. Can we refinance with a voluntary lien on the property? We only owe $130 K on our 1st Mortgage with New Rez and the 2nd Mortgage for $44 K is with a lender and is past the statute of limitations and is not collectible, but they hold a lien over us since it is unpaid. Can you offer advice? I am NOT available to talk until after 5pm.? Thanks!
Hi Joesph,
That question would be best for a mortgage loan officer. I would check with a broker or your local lender.
Good luck 🙂
