Also I am paying pmi right now, $189/month it would drop to $120/month after refinance.



But in the new rules I think you pay pmi for the life of the loan. I bet your pmi falls off after 5 years with your current fha. That's a big deal

I never understand why people make a big deal out of this
97% of the borrowing public refis every 5-7yrs. You will never stay in the loan for the life of it

Rates were 3.25% on 30yr yesterday. Drop your rate and pmi. Ride it out for 5yrs then refi out of FHA

Are they 3.25% on the FHA streamline? I am getting 3.625% from my mortgage company and 3.825% from GMFS to do streamline FHA 30 year. A standard FHA is lower but I keep my PMI the same. Both are refinancing me at $72k and my total payoff currently is around $69k with escrow stuff included. I would be dropping my PMI from $180 to $120 a month.

Thats cause your not paying for it in a form of origination. You can get that low if you want to pay

Take the 3.625 and enjoy the savings.

Well the plan is to pay this thing down, until we can get into a 15yr and drop PMI. Sucks that the houses around mine have been selling like shite lately, but that is the market for now.
