I am trying to refinance my home I have checked with 2 differnt people (lenders) and I just get higher quotes than I am paying now I dont know what to do. I have to refinance before Oct 1 or I will go to an arm loan and I cant afford the price they want me to pay I have excellent credit and a 10 year job. I hav lived in my home for 2 years now and I dont want to loose it. Is there anyone out there that can shed some light on this for me or help me out with any information? I also hear that I have 14 days to check with different mortgage lenders and it will only take 2 points off score.

What can I do next?

C.,

I don't know much but there were a bunch of articles on MSN not too long ago about this. I think you should contact the lender who holds your loan currently and explain your situation. Many lenders have a team that can work with you. With the current market and the number of foreclosures, many lenders are really anxious to help their clients not foreclose. Good luck!

Hi C.,
sounds like you are on a 2/1 or 2/28 ARM which means the initial rate was a lower "teaser" rate fixed for 2 years and will be re-casting.
First of all, don't check around with different lenders that are going to re-pull your credit, there is the potential for your FICO to drop significantly just by tacking "inquiries" onto your credit report in your search for a better rate and if your FICO drops too much you might find you don't qualify for the best rate.
I'd suggest finding a good mortgage broker that has access to info from different lenders and having them shop your loan (they would need to pull a credit report in order to shop it but could let the mortgage lender know that they don't want new credit pulled until you have decided on which mortgage lender you are going to use). Be sure you are doing "full doc" which means assets and income fully verified. Check with different brokers to see what their fees are including origination and discount because you want to try to keep the new loan amount as close to the payoff on your current loan (on a refi, fees can be added to the balance which means a larger loan with larger payments *but* if you are willing to pay some discount, the rate may be lowered which will give you a smaller payment). Unfortunately you probably aren't going to find a "fixed" rate lower than what you are currently paying but you might get it close by paying some discount.
Also be sure (if this is your dream home and you aren't planning to move) that you get a fixed rate loan - not another ARM and especially not a Pay Option ARM.
If, however, you do forsee a move you could play the ARM game again but keep time on your side. If you plan to move in the next 4 years, you could take advantage of a 5/1 ARM (the rate would be fixed for the first 5 years) but I would only do this if you were absolutely sure you weren't going to be in the home much beyond 4 years.
I hope this helps some.
Good luck.
