Refinancing FHA loan, is this a good offer?

My home is valued at $535,000 with a loan amount outstanding of $420,000. I have an offer from Cash Call at 3.5% FHA at 15 years FRM, no closing cost and free appraisal. My current loan is FHA 30 year FRM at 4.875%. Can I do better than this? Credit score of 659. by judybl_457_570 from San Clemente, California. Nov 2nd 2011 Reply

Yes, that appears to be a good deal. However, why would you refinance into a new FHA loan if you are less than 80% LTV?

You should look at refinancing into a conventional loan which should give you the same rate and you would no longer have mortgage insurance.

Hi there: If you have a FHA loan you can utilize a Streamline loan with no closing cost and there is no apprisal needed for that transaction at all! However you can also convert your FHA loan into convetional loan if you have 20% equity in yourhouse in doing that you will get rid of mortgage insurance premium which should be around at least $400-$500 per month! When did you get your FHA loan (how many months ago)? If you would like to you can call me directly for your free and no obligation consultations :) I look forward talking to you soon :)ShabMy phone number: 1-714-639-6694

Sounds like the broker/lender is going to provide a credit to cover all costs/fees with FHA streamlined refinance. I suggest that you ask for a Truth In Lending and Good Faith Estimate just to be on safe side. On paper, it does sound like a great deal but like others have mentioned, it may be worth looking into a conventional loan since you may have 20% in equity. Please do not hesiate to contact me with any questions.Best Regards,Aaron BrownFlagstar Bank480-538-0611 Ext: 226

Three isn't sufficent information to answer that questions. it depends on if they are rolling the costs in the loan. To answer all the "loan officers" questions the reason they are doing a 15 year fixed FHA versus conventional is because there is no monthly MIP on 15 year fixed FHA loans under 78% loan to value. A credit score of 659 actually gets better pricing on FHA than Conventional and we could pay the upfront 1% MIP for them at that rate for example. Feel free to email for details if you would like us to beat that offer. dmcalister@bncbank.com
