I'm on a 5/1 ARM, have 1 and a 1/2 years on the current rate.
This is my primary/only home, I'm thinking in refinancing for a better rate.

Welcoem to the forum

Withdrawl from IRA is possible up to $10,000/- once ina life time. But it applies to only first tiem home buyer not for refinancing

Also you need to ask your self before payign for poitns, how long you plan to stay or keep this house, before you pay too much to reduce yoru interet

In the currnet market if you have soem equity and good income probably you can get a good rate with out paying much for points

Good luck and feel free to ask
