The MIP payment (PMI but for FHA loans) is now under a new formula so if we could qualify for a new FHA loan (since we don't have 20% equity) we'd have to get a rate around 3% to see a difference.<br /><br />Our plan is come January to up the amount we pay each month to make it equivalent to a 15 year mortgage... and if we can toss more than that we will :)South County Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347142273473958671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409437835427293169.post-73401552432042005492011-09-06T07:16:51.052-07:002011-09-06T07:16:51.052-07:00These are all great updates!

You'd have closing costs to pay again, but you may save a bundle in the end due to rates being so crazy low right now.The Happy Homeownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500276819532232487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409437835427293169.post-32203838596173616992011-09-05T10:01:37.334-07:002011-09-05T10:01:37.334-07:00This was a wonderful post!
