Just curious...
ALso, FHA now has a program where you get 3.5 adjustable but the 3.5 is locked for 5 years ( I believe thats what the broker said). After 5 years it can adjust. Depends on economy. But it can never go above 8.5. And there are options after the locked first 5 years to keep it low if the economy is in the dumps.
And remember.. you only have two days until April 30 to get your $6500 gov rebate. Thats for anyone buying, not just first time buyers. To qualify for that you must have lived in your present home for at least years. And I think its for buying another primary residence.
Not sure if the $8000 first time buyer gov program is still going?
On the $6500, it takes about 3 - 4 months to get your check from the gov.
You just need to have sign by April 30th and close by June 30th for the $6500 program.
If my info is wrong, correct me. I got this when we just bought a home last week.
Signed last monday, closing will be May 21st. FHA 3.5% AR 5 years locked. (3.5% down)
