Our ratios are great, plenty of equity left, beautiful home on a professionally managed forest (Forest Management Plan done). I have tried two or three lenders and when they hear 115 plus acres they so no. We have to pay a rate that's 2-3 % higher.

A lot of smart people on this forum, any constructive suggestions would be appreciated.

Help, before my %$#@in' head explodes.
Dont pay your mortgage for 6 months and then you will qualify for a mortgage modifacation If you pay on time and have great credit you are sh%# out of luck I had the same problem (with out the farm)took me over a year and I am @ 4 % now
