Millions of modifications have been granted without necessary reduction of the mortgage and millions more turned down that could have worked if the necessary were reduced. But now banks are beginning to see the light. They have recognized though the pain of owning a lot of real estate doing a modification and some necessary reduction, if it's warranted, makes more sense than just foreclosing or doing a short sale.
This wasn't all the time the case. Also millions of homeowners have seen the light too and stopped beating their head against the banker's walls trying for months on end to get a modification and turned it over to a professional, ordinarily an attorney.

Why do modifications make more sense consuming send than in the past?
the main presuppose is homeowners are retaining professionals, mostly law firms, to prepare and process their loan modification requests
banks such as Bank of America see a modification of the first mortgage as a way of preventing a foreclosure. Now that Tarp money is gone their losses are not made up by the government.
the Hamp, Home Affordable Modification agenda has gotten some traction as it has been more widely proper and people understand it better, consumers and banks.
Why does necessary reduction all of a sudden make sense?
the banks are beginning to comprehend that owning more real estate just means more losses on the books and that just reducing the rate and terms on a loan doing a home loan modification doesn't all the time make the home affordable. By reducing the necessary it will turn the trick to make the mortgage cost work
Hamp has added a new wrinkle to it's modification agenda called the Pra or necessary reduction Alternative. When the reduction of the interest rate and extension of the term don't meet the debt to income ratios they can cut the principal, if the loan exceeds the value of the home, until it makes the cost affordable at 31% of the borrower's gross income. The mean necessary reduction has been ,500.
Bank of America now offers a loan modification with a necessary reduction if the loan number exceeds the value by 120%. A B of A necessary reduction has been offered to homeowners with Arm loans made in years past that have grown in size and cost pushing people toward foreclosure. Many were bought from Country Wide home loans.
Bankruptcy trustees and courts have been given the authority to cut necessary so the man going bankrupt can keep their home if the circumstances of the loan are prohibitive to the man affording the home after the bankruptcy. This is gaining traction as bankruptcies are becoming more abundant.
