I may be looking to move soon, and then keep my current house as a rental, but refinance it to get the equity out.

How about a $1B HELOC so I can buy a nice chunk of MBIA?

Hmm....tempting.

We are considering moving this summer. 5.375% on a 30 is nice.

720 and up, right?

No points. I can even get 5.75% no closing costs. Rates are great right now and they are only going to get better.

I just checked bankrate.com and they are dropping like a rock over the last couple of weeks. I may soon, but I want to see if they drop further if the fed lowers rates again as expected.

Hey cougjunkie, my buddy who is in your industry says that most forecasters expect the housing slump to continue throughout 2008 and finally taper off in 2009. His recommendation is to wait until the end of 2008 to buy.

Is that what you are told?
