Cwr, how much the loan was for, was it for 80% of value of the house or more. Are you aware of the equity position of the house presently? How much exactly is your score now?

How long have you been in home?
Was your credit bad when you bought the home?
A 15 year payment at 7% will be close to a 30 year at 11% for a $100,000 loan.
What type of loan do you have now and who is the lender?
FHA doesn't care what your score is as long as you have no lates and you don't have any collection, judgements, or tax liens. And you have at least 3 other bills you paid on time for at least 12-24 months.

Is there any specific reason you are looking at 15 yr loans.
If you do not have plans of moving out within a few years then you can look at loans for 30 yr term also.
The benefit would be that the monthly payments would be less than what you would have to make on a 15 yr mortgage. |

Hello: It sounds like FHA might be the way for you to go. As you can see from the other posts, it's necessary to get a little more information from you. Please understand though that any refinance will come with closing costs, fees, etc. so it's important to do the math as well. I assume you checked with Countrywide or don't want to use them again. At first glance, a rate of 11% could definitely be improved upon. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions. Take care.

Based on the limited information provided (poor credit, no late pays in the last 1-2 years, etc.), I'd have to agree that an FHA loan would offer the most consumer benefit/lowest cost of borrowing.
If you can share more information, I or someone else could inform you of your options.
Regards,
Scott Miller

Hi Cwr,
You can refinance with an FHA insured loan. For lending this type of loan, the lender will not consider your low credit score. But he will require you to have a debt-to-income ratio of 29/41. Moreover, this loan will allow you to make as little down payment of 3% along with low closing cost. |

Loan with countrywide? well, just watch out, I have heard that the company is about to file bankruptcy. So, try to refinance asap and if possible with an FHA secure loan.

You should qualify for an FHA mortgage. With good payment history on the mortgage it sounds like you are a good canidate. FHA mortgage rates are right around 6% for a fixed rate right now.
