    Hi Ray, Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, we don’t qualify as we’ve owned several homes (and currently own one in Austin, TX that we are renting out) and our income is too high. But it sure is a different story buying a home here in San Diego County than what we’ve paid before! I think all our houses combined won’t be as much as we’ll spend on one here. Depressing…

    One otehr option that is rarely discussed is looking at soem of the differnet brokerages. Many of them enterend the mortgage business. Charles Schwab offers a guaranty to match or beat any rate (problem is limited product selection) Merrill Lynch allows you to avoid the down payment if you have assets in a brokerage account there Offer wide range of products.

    One final suggestion is to also consider looking at Costco which parners with lending tree and offers a rebate program.

    I like doing some preliminary research on bankrate.com

    Best of Luck

    Regardless of what method you use, very few borrowers actually get the best possible rate that they could have on the day that they lock.

    Shopping for a rate is exactly what gets you into this mess.

    Until you know what you actually qualify for, you will be fooled by the best liar.

    On any given day, 10 different lenders will have 10 different “best rates”

    Henry Ford guaranteed to sell you a car in any color, as long as it was black.
