Is it possible to switch from a conventional loan to a FHA?

I purchased my home originally at 5.75% through a conventional loan and now I am trying to lower my payments by finding a better loan with less of an interest rate, but I am not able to do this with my original loan because I paid more for the property than its currently appraised. Any suggestions? by toobig_617_254 from Fort Worth, Texas. Oct 10th 2011 Reply

Hello, With a Conventional loan you can do a Streamline refinance. No appraisal is required and it is done using the appraised value when you originally financed the property.Sincerely,Henry J Daniels - Sr. Mortgage Banker & CMPSI Certified Mortgage Coach"Educating you to make the right financial choices for your family today and tomorrow" Direct: (936) 228-1944 Fax: (832) 217-3033Learn about me and connect at HenryJDaniels.comBlog: WoodlandsMortgageBank.com What is "Servant Leadership?" - Proverbs 11:25 & Proverbs 3:27 Connect with me at:Text "CoachHenry" to 50500 to get my eCardText "follow TexasRealLoans" to 40404 for Lending updates via SMSText me Direct at (936) 228-1944Home Loans provided by Premier Nationwide Lending NMLS #75333Henry J Daniels - NMLS #209419

The max loan to value on FHA prior to adding in the upfront mortgage insurance is 97.75%. If your loan was originated approx April 2009 or prior you should be able to use the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP). If you had mortgage insurance when you originally purchased, you would want to go through your original lender for a HARP loan.
