That $300 modification is only useful if you have reason to keep the property for 10 years or more. Your new loan for be for 40 years, not 30 years. Otherwise, it is just foolishly throwing good money after bad. It will cost you 8% to 9% to sell at some point.

If you and the family live there, that's one thing. If it's an investment property, no way.
