http://www.residentialfinance.com/ http://www.residentialfinance.com/_press.cfm?id=601 http://www.residentialfinance.com/_press.cfm?id=601 COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 16, 2012 When June Snow first looked into refinancing her interest-only mortgage, she was told it would be impossible because the value for her three-bedroom, two-bath ranch style home was not in the necessary range. Then Snow contacted Residential Finance Corp. (RFC), a nationwide mortgage lender, which rolled out the new the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) 2.0 program last month, and within three weeks she closed on a new lower, fixed interest rate loan. The recently released new guidelines for the government program designed to help credit-worthy homeowners who owe more than their home is worth opens the door to even more individuals. In fact, according to statistics from CoreLogic, 2.3 million homeowners might be eligible for the program. Snow, of Lancaster, Calif., was one of those homeowners. She was in the sixth year of a 10-year interest-only loan. When I first got it, it was not such a bad deal, and I thought I would only be in it for a couple of years, and then the market shifted, she explained. I tried for years to get out of it and could not because the house value was not there. I felt hopeless. At the beginning of the year, Snow got a call from RFC. After explaining her mortgage situation, the representative told her RFC would roll out a new program that would help her in March and to call then. She did. It only took three weeks from the time she called RFC and reached loan officer Vince Cooper to the close of her loan, a 30-year, fixed rate mortgage for $135,000. I am pretty happy, and I sleep much better, she said. HARP 2.0 offers the following provisions for homeowners: Expanded Credit Borrowers with lower credit scores who are current on their mortgage payments and have been for 12 months may qualify. Unlimited Loan to Value Borrowers may now be able to refinance regardless of their loan to value. Under HARP 1.0 the maximum loan-to-value was 125 percent.

With its significant growth, especially in mobile users and telecommuters, RFC had outgrown its existing terminal services platform. The lender needed a new platform that would improve end-user performance while minimizing total operational and infrastructure costs. We selected NxTop after an extensive five-year search for a solution that would offer consistent service, eliminate viruses and malware and not require us to build a costly data center, said Alan Rabideau, RFCs CIO.

NxTop offers a high level of flexibility and productivity to the end user, including the ability to run multiple secure desktops on one PC.
