This change will be particularly helpful for borrowers who obtain a permanent loan modification and later suffer an unrelated hardship – such as the loss of a job or the death of a family member – that could otherwise cause them to face foreclosure.

But I've owned property in 7 or 8 states and never had to file a tax return in more than 1 state, the state of your primary residence.Now if you want to file as being a resident of say a state with no income tax like FL, TX or4 or 5 others, then you have to be a permanent resident there, live there more than 6 months a year and probably vote there, get a drivers license there, have license plates for your cars there, receive mail there, pay utilities there, etc, etc, etc.

If it wasnt for the ability to fully attach those loans to a person permanently, they would be incredibly more higher.Default rates and loss severity are not the only thing that go into risk premium analysis in interest rate setting, but they are probably the 2 biggest factors.

My situation is, I do not have my own permanent residence, as my work pays for my family to stay in an apartment.

But, the entire premise here is that you will be able to refi as planned and scheduled, which means that the permanent financing player is fully involved from the get-go...And it doesn't stop there, because some times banks change their mind last minute - ask me how I know this :)Not to mention that your costs with HML will be very high, and terms will be quite rigid.

I never had the pleasure of being permanently stationed in Hawaii.

If the seller dies before closing, the contract is null and void - but other than that rather extreme and permanent condition, the seller would not be able to just cancel an executed contract.

Were you and your husband able to refi into a permanent loan afterward? 

There are a couple but its going to have to be pretty permanently attached to the land to protect the foreclosure option

I heard that the city of San Francisco has made the moratorium on evictions permanent.
