Refinance with a score of 602

Posted on: 18th Sep, 2009 08:17 am
i have an arm at 8.75%. i have $105,000 in equity in my home. i want to refinance to get out of the arm. the bad news is my credit score is 602 with equifax. should i wait until it reaches 620 before i start applying?
What I would suggest is to speak to a broker and see if they have lenders that offer FHA loans with lower FICO's. Some lenders go into the 500's (rarely). If you did get qualify for the FHA loan it gives you the ability to streamline anytime in the future to a lower rate.

Our president also can make changes in FHA lending practices because the money backed by the government. I definitley suggest you refinance your mortgage to a FHA and start the savings for now and the future. You can go up to 85% and get cash out anything 86%-97.5% you can do but you cannot receive cash out.
