Hi Joshie, nice to hear from you!  If you can avoid going FHA (even though the 
down payment will be lower), I would save up and go conventional.  There are 
plenty of banks with loans that require less than the normal 20% down for a 
conventional loan.  Shop the different banks and credit unions, if your credit 
score is 680 or above, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a better deal 
than FHA.  What they told you is correct---PMI is now 1.35% for the life of 
that FHA loan.  You could always refinance out of an FHA mortgage, but 
generally it takes 3-5 years to pay down the additional costs of a refinance.   
I chose an ARM since I don't expect to keep my house longer than 5 more years, 
that gives me a lower interest rate, but that would go up after 5 years if I 
don't refinance again into something else or sell the house. Bottom line...shop 
around, the banks have different programs for low down payment options, and in 
some cases they even have down payment assistance help through different 
programs, too. Hope that helps!BethAnn

{}#yiv5250879071 Happy Belated birthday to the oldest pepperoni *LOL*. So, do 
refinances cost a lot of money? I was told today that with an FHA I have to 
carry PMI for the life of the loan, but that I could refinance once I got 20% 
down on the home so I could drop the PMI. However, with conventional I could 
avoid the upfront lump sum that they throw in on PMI and drop the PMI once I 
got 20% or 3 years behind me. Can you enlighten me on this?

Subject: [audio-pals] Re: Ghost Town  Hi everyone.  Nothing exciting on this 
end, just working and trying to do some projects around the house for the 
appraisal...trying to refinance and get some cash out of the house to pay for 
it all.   LOL My oldest turned 29 on Friday and apparently ate the entire jello 
cake yesterday (with the exception of 3 pieces I made him share with his 
friends/brother).  The Seattle Seahawks lost, so I left right after that to 
avoid the inevitable "crabby" that would be expressed about the loss. Hope you 
all have a Happy Thanksgiving!BethAnn  From: Heather H

Suzi off list so know she’s alive too.  BethAnn might be doing another batch of

waiting to sell you a house Josh.  It might be “the perfect place.”  Or maybe 
not depends on who’s standard of perfection is being used perhaps.    Don’t 
know about Don.  Danny though is alive and well, eating lots and lots of cream 
corn, well probably every meal he eats is cream corn, because he doesn’t like 
it so he has been placed into the cream corn factor.    Patti continues to 
improve bit by bit, gets a little more talkative over time at times.  She has a 
couple of appointments coming in December, one is physical, the other is the 
Neurologist.  But I’m thinking generally things will be going in the right 
direction for her as afar as they are concerned.

is everyone doing? I have not seen any post from the list in a few weeks now. I 
am wondering if I have not gotten myself booted somehow unintentionally. I 
guess the last I seen any post was Tom and I interacting about the family 
issues. The issues are not a hundred percent, but I do feel that since Amanda 
stood up and stood her ground we have gotten more respect. Now, it seems as 
though we are actualy people and not servants. However, that could change at 
any moment. Well, we have our prequalification letter and have found a few 
houses that we are interested in. We have to call tomorrow and get a real 
estate agent. Getting the prequal was a bit ofa hassle though. Today Amanda and 
I went and bought little man some birthday presents and got his location 
reserved. Sometime this week we have to get the invitations filled-out. Amanda 
and I are in the home stretch of the semester and everything seems to be going 
alright. I am in one class where I will not know if I passed or failed until 
the final grade comes out since 50% of the points aren’t going to be figured 
until the end of the semester. Amanda as far as I know is doing fine in her 
classes, she has some projects that she is working on, but I belive they are 
going fine. So, as always we have a ton of things going on, but little time 
*LOL*. Have a good one and I hope to be able to read some list traffic here in 
a few days. Take care and chat later.
