  1. .Now, it’s about $298,000, he said, and the two have no equity in the home buaecse they owe $66,000-plus and growing in payments and other fees. We are hard-core under water, said Swift, who got a job five months ago at a health care company.He believes President Barack Obama’s plan is a good step but said borrowers with no or little equity won’t get relief until lenders are forced to reduce the principal to reflect lower property values.Until recently, Swift, 38, and Wallis, 31, felt they knew how to wrest favorable changes on their prime loan mortgage from the lender they were laid-off workers from American Home Mortgage, which shut down in August 2007.The only offer they got was one-eighth of a percent cut on their 7.5 percent interest rate, with the late payments, penalties and other fees tacked onto the back of the 30-year loan, Swift said.
