this is a quote from a mortgage company for financing. If you want information from someone that will speak to you in common man's understanding I can get you in contact with some one who will talk directly to you. She is in the mortgage division of a bank in this area.

I may not have explained everything, but put notes by what I think you need assistance on. If I can help you farther let John know and he can give you my e-mail. Never mind here it is <firstamericanre@yahoo.com> . Let me know if you need more information.

So hope that helps a bit Mick.

Sorry about that Mick, the wife answered all the questions, but I didn't preview the first post and they didn't show up. Anyway, there you have it and some contact info.

As to where you can get the best rates - the prime was lowered 0.75% here on Tuesday which also affects mortgage rates. Yesterday they were saying fixed rates are at a five year low with 30 year fixed going at about 5.8%. Shorter term fixed will be even lower.

Typically, ARMs go at a much lower rate, but with the issues we have with foreclosures, my guess is that they are going to be pretty picky about qualifications for ARMs, interest only, and Balloons.

Good luck!

AND, I like what they were saying yesterday, "spend your refund on American made goods" Are the politicians that cut off from mainstream life??? Whats made here anymore except a big mac? Even Levi's are made in China now, no domestic electronics are made here anymore and almost the same with power tools. Even Stanley now have factories in China.

They were questioning this on NPR as I drove home last night - analysis of the last refund (2003?) was that the biggest spending was on clothes (US made?), second was bills, third was food. Hardly the kind of things that will pull the economy out of a slump!

I'd be offering interest free long term loans to small manufacturing exporting companies, employing less than 200 people. They are the ones who will stimulate the economy by expansion. That would certainly go down a lot better than giving money away willy nilly.

Sorry have been unable to reply to the answers here.

Will get back to you when I know exactly what I need.

Unless someone has a spare quarter of a million dollars around?
