Question by Danny R: In a FHA Streamline Mortgage do you skip a payment?
Ive been told alot of info on this (butalot of conflicting info)…..typically when you refinance a property you skip your next payment. With a FHA Streamline do you skip a payment?

Answer by Dallas D
I have never used the streamline but I have done a lot of loans. You always get a free month that is my understanding even when I refied some properties you skip the first month, dosage that is why I always try to close a deal on the 3 or 4th you can skip almost 2 months.

Question by creei27: Am I being offered a good mortgage rate? FHA 3.5% down 15 years 4.375% April 2011?
The way they present mortgage loans is confusing, doctor so I would like some input.

I am a first time home buyer, cost so I am eligible for FHA programs. The bank is offering me 3.5% down, adiposity 15 years, at 4.375%. The points on it are -0.125%, so they credit back that portion of the entire loan amount. They are also offering 1% cash back on annual payments, which amounts to like $ 70.

Is this a good rate? I had been interested in the 30 year loans, but they say that the program offering they have is only good for 15 year ones. That is, I would have to put 20% down for a 30 year FHA, versus only 3.5% down on the 15 year one.

Thank you in advance for shedding some light on this!
On the 30 year, I was quoted around 4.8%. If it’s possible to do the 3.5% down on a 30 year, I may do that instead since the loan would end up being dirt cheap then.
This loan is from Chase.

Have you checked with other lenders? FHA minimum is always 3.5% down — not 20% down (even for 30 years). The credits back to you may only be with the 15 year program, but it’s silly to put 20% down on an FHA loan because you’ll pay pmi regardless for five years. I would check on the rates that other lenders are offering to decide if this is a good deal — it sounds a little high for a 15 year loan, but you’re also getting a credit back and annual cash back.

Contest entry consists of 3 images. Rather of taking 3 photos of the exact same MOC, recipe I decided to make a little story out of it in three scenes. It is still the exact same MOC, but each and every time a bit modified.
