Yes, I believe so.

Assuming you got a pretty good rate as is, I would think it would be too soon. But there are plenty of smart people on here that could help you.

I was told 6 months, but not sure if that is specific to mine or just to loans in general

There's no way that 30 bps is enough to make refi'ing economical. Is there?

ETA: You won't get as good of a rate on a refi any way. It would probably be a wash on rates.

I see no reason why you couldn't. I'd run the numbers to make sure it's worth the time and money, it may not be.

you have to wait 6 months to refinance thats a fannie mae rule. but not unless the rates are 1.25% lower that what you have now its not going to be worth it.

Correct. Mortgage loans are usually required to season for 6 months before a refi.

I don't have an FHA loan, I have a conventional one. My credit score was 715 and we have a 4% interest rate on a 30 yr loan. I was just thinking if 30 yr rates somehow get into the mid 2s, would it be worth it? The loan amount is around 178k.
