the only differernce between putting 10% down and 20% down besides payment is PMI. if you are not going to put down 20% then i would not worry about the difference between 11% and 16%. As far as rates go a year from now. i think they will be within .5% of what they are now. I will start to worry about rates when the FED moves it up, they have said they are keeping it low until 2014.

what are you going to do with that libor arm when the rate starts to go up in 2-3 years?

I don't think I'll be here in 5 years. For a 3 year window, say I average 2%. That means I'll save about 30% in interest payments each month. I'll also have more flexibity with my cash because I'm not having to stick about 3x my interest payment in escrow and principle. I'll spend more on lunches than I will on my house payment for the next 3 years. that's pretty good in my book.

Damn, we're leaning towards building right now so unfortunately it will probably be a slightly longer process.
