I currently have an FHA Loan with BOA at a rate of 6.875%. It is a Manufacuted home, the original Loan was $97500, original appraisal was $120,000. 30yr mortgate..I am 5 years into the loan (just removed PMI). I would like to do an FHA Streamline to a 15yr mortgage. At the new interest rates, my PI payment would remain virtually unchanged. Current appraisal is roughly $75000, and Payoff is $91500. I have an 813 Credit score...
Now that the Scenenrio is done... I am being told by a lender that I CAN NOT do a FHA Stream line with a rate/term change without doing an Appraisal. If I want no appraisal I have to stick with a 30YR, which I dont want to due to the new PMI would eat up all of my savings on the new loan.
My question is Can I do a FHA Streamline from a 30yr to a 15yr WITHOUT an appraisal? If so...Who can help me??? Please!!
