The stream lines for FHA are saving everyone a ton of money. You can Refinance your FHA loan to a New FHAloan. If you are over 5% on your 30 yr fixed mortgage you need to check into this. If not with me, then with someone you trust. Values don't matter.
There is no appraisal, no paystubs, and in some cases they can even do it without pulling a credit report. It's a very cool thing. My favorite was I just closed where a guy went from 7% on a 30yr loan to 4.25% on a 15yr and he will save over $125,000 in interest. Another one saved $250.00 a month.
I am only posting this because I don't think alot of people know about this and FHA will be changing its guidelines for loan amounts pretty soon. Right now you can do up to $429,000 in Stanislaus. Bay area is $729,000 in some parts.
I am a bass fisherman as you know and if you close your loan with me I will pay for your next tourny up to $300.00 or I will give you a gift certificate for Escalon bait and tackle for $300.00. I can do loans anywhere in California and since there is no appraisal I really don't need to be near. Everything can be done by fax and a title company near you.
I hope this helps get the word out to help some people.

Thanks,
