Closed on my FHA loan on 6/12/08. Interest rate of 5.875 on a 30 year fixed and a down payment minimum of 3%. I am happy with it.


I closed in April- FHA 5.875. 3% down. definitely recommend.

What would be considered a decent rate now? Credit's not great, but I qualify pretty easily.

Nova,
If you had to guess, how low do you think the rates will be for a 30 yr fix around March 09? I am hoping to get a 30 yr fix for around 6.25.

You got lied to--unless you were going for the $7500 tax credit just signed into law via HR 3221 (this does go into effect until Oct. 1) your application was denied under false pretenses.

HR 3221 is the new bill put into law last month. This law states that the $7500 tax credit will be available starting Oct 1. You will only qualify for this tax credit if you are a first time homebuyer or if you have not owned a home in the last 3 years. If you are single you must make less than 75k/year or 150k if you file joint tax returns. If you want more info on this I can send you a link to a breakdown of this new bill. You can email me at lance@IntegraLendingGroup.com

I will take a look at it for you. You do not make to much for an FHA loan, in fact there are no income limits for FHA. There is for Bond Money, and Rural Development loans ( I think you would be ok on RD) but no such limit for FHA.

For more information, go to www.myfhaloan.org

You could very well be ok. While there is no way to know where any of the markets will be by then, the last few years have seen the rates bounce around between 5.5 or so and into the upper 6's
