I own mine, and recommend it!

Your right, solvency is long road,but now you can refinance at 4.6 % - 30yrs, how much lower will it go?
I'm working on it. Not much interest from most companies because I AM underwater. And we already have 5 7/8% interest. But we also have a credit score of 800 so we are working with current mortgage company to see if we can bring the interest rate down.
Wish me luck!
G'luck, Lady! I never refi'd back in the early 00's, mainly because I read it wasn't worth it til interest rates were 2% below what my current mortgage rate. But then it was finally worth it and I had too many other things on my plate to really focus on figuring it all out-so I didn't.
But then I focused on paying down the principal and got out from under faster anyway-which process further reduced any lingering inclination to refi at a lower rate in the meantime.

We are currently going through a refinance. There are programs available if your mortgage is backed by Fannie or Freddie. If we are able to do this and our home appraises out, we will be able to save nearly $200/mth.
They say to calculate if it is worth to refinance, take the amount of closing costs it takes to do the refinance, and divide it by the amount you will save with the new mortgage to come up with how long it will take you to break even....and to see if it is even worth doing.
For example:
Closing costs: 3,000 / 200( we would save)=15mths to break even, to start the savings.
I think the unemployment needs to be fixed to cure the housing market, that and we all need to take responsibilty of our own bad decisions.
CRWS---What are the odds that I would go on this site, after being a member for about 2wks and see a pic of a home by our MLS? I am a Realtor in SW Florida...It's a small world afterall.
Yea, that's for sure!
