You cannot.. HARP rules say you must have taxes and insurance impounded.. the only way around this would be to refinance out of a HARP loan into a conventional refinance. You would have to have sufficient equity, and if you have less than 20% equity, you would have to pay mortgage insurance.. Also note that most lenders charge a little bit more if you pay your taxes and insurance on your own. .. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com
