The monthly PMI recently reduced. You could potentially see payment savings from lowering your rate, lowering your monthly PMI obligation, and extending your term.

Its possible but now that your husband isn't working, may cause some difficulty, does your income alone support all the debt including the mortgage?

If your income can meet the debt to income rules you can refinance to a conventional 30 year loan in the mid 3%'s and you would reduce the mortgage insurance by about 1/2 percent.If that loan does not work you could do a streamline FHA refinance with rates in the 3's and the mortgage insurance would be .80If you need help I am in Topeka, 785-273-5004 or kdwall@kdwallstreet.Korwin D.

I agree with a couple of the previous answer's submitted. If your current income supports the bills and certain factor's involved with your husband going back to school, then you need to move as quick as possible while rates are still low.

Hello OP, grew up in south KC myself - lots of friends still in your area. You may be able to do a streamline FHA and reduce the monthly mort Ins but they would need to confirm continuing employment. Another option is to refi to a conventional loan and "finance" the remaining PMI which would reduce your monthly payment. However, you still need to show enough income to qualify for the payment and all other debt.

More info would be needed.. but in general, you can refinance FHA to FHA after 6 months.. you can refi FHA to any other loan product at anytime.. If your husband is not working, then to qualify, you would need to make sufficient income to service all the debt and still be within the industry standard debt to income ratio.. with 85% LTV, you will still have a very small MI policy that can be removed after 2 years, and when you have 20% or more equity, and you wont have to refinance to get it removed.
