This is for 30 years fixed conventional. is that a good rate ?My scores back in July are 676, 624, and 646. I just checked my score again through score watch, and I got 731 with EFX. I just made some credit card payment, and called Citibank to update my CL on my report. I plan to ask the lender to pull my credit report again, but I'm not sure if I should pull it now and lock the rate or wait till at the end of the month. The closing date is sept, 10. any advices for me?

Plus I heard there're lots more of paper works add to it.
WAIT, I thought it was a manditory 5 years for FHA that you pay PMI?? I asked on here probably 2 weeks ago and that was what i got. Confused?!?!
