Rates, terms and product are subject to change daily. It is a requirement that FNMA own your current mortgage. You may easily check that on our website as well for free. Please call for current quotes when you are ready. Rate is generally LTV and credit score driven. This is a no cash out program.Total monthly debt ratio may not exceed lender guidelines. Other PMI options may be available subject to the LTV/credit score requested. This example assumes 720+ credit score and a primary or second home refinance. Additional LTV and credit score options are available and pricing as well as terms and level of qualifying difficulty will apply. PMI coverage is currently available on primary residences up to 90% LTV in Florida but subject to change. No loan approval is promised or implied in this example.
