VA and HE Dliemma

I am a Vet with a VA Loan of about 98k i have another NON-VA HE Loan of about 73k. Both Loans are at 6%. I am trying to lower my rate, not get 'screwed' in points from anyone (VA or otherwise), combine the loans and get ultimately a lower payment at the current 15yr term.Although not appraised profesionally, the Comp's in my neighborhood in Miami ate about 160-170k I've contacted the first loan provider (Chase), who is ready to do a VA quick re-fi at a lower rate with points, which i dont agree with. That one's not the issue.The second lender (RBS) no longer writes paper in Florida and wont even talk to me. Each time i call to service my loan or ask questions, i get, we cant help you because we dont do business in FLA.As i said looking for a re-fi/modification/whatever that will do a 100 LTV. My wife and i have always been on time with our payments (in fact we pay every two weeks) and both of us have a Fico of 820+.HELP! by ssulli_779_955 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The best advice I can give you is to contact a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Not the local "Big" bank, and certainly not one of those 50 states internet lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com
