Shane, It appears you are "Da-man" around here when it comes to mortgages and I wanted to ask a question about an FHA refinance that I am working on. Anyone else that wants to chime based on their FHA refi experiences, please do so as well!!!!
The two questions will be;
1. Am I getting a good interest rate based on the info below?
2. Are my closing costs in line with expectations (located in TX)
Current Scores are 610-640 (mid-score is 620). Last 12 months are perfect across 4 CC's, 2 cars and 1 mortgage (a few old baddies). Currently have a conventional loan @ 8%. Currently owe $249,500 and expect appraisal to come in around $285,000 (LTV 87%). DTI with existing mortage is 40%. In a stable market (Austin).
My mortgage broker is quoting me a rate of 6.25% (approved and locked, pending termite inspection and appraisal). GFE has closing costs and prepaids right at $10K ($4400 in prepaids <high taxes>, and $5,800 in the origination fee and closing costs).
I consider myself to be pretty educated after reading all your posts but wanted your expert opinion to make sure I'm doing OK.
Thank You!
