Looking to refinance from a 30 year FHA to a 15 year conventional.

currently, you are at about 85% Loan to Value (LTV). to remove MI.. you need to be at 80% or lower.. But if you refinance into a 15 year loan, at 85% LTV, then with really good credit, the MI payment is only $21.25 per month.. and once you have paid for 2 years (21.75 x 24=$510), you can call your lender and ask them to remove the MI.. so long as your equity position is 20% or more (it should be, since you are on a 15 yr loan).. then the lender will remove the MI and you wont have to refinance to do it.. I'm a preferred Lender with California and Arizona being my primary markets.

Aaron,I am a wholesale account executive serving North and South Carolina. I do not originate loans. You will indeed need a 20% equity position which means you can bring cash to a loan amount of approximately $140,00 (80% loan to value). The MI is much less on a conforming loan than an FHA loan. So, you might have substantial savings and you can drop the conforming MI on your new loan once you have paid down the loan to 80% balance versus value of the home.Our company has excellent rates and it is able to offer our brokers great value so that they can in turn help borrowers like you. Our lending partners can offer you excellent service and top tier rates. If you would like to me to refer you to someone close to review your situation, please call me at (510) 274-9570.
