I locked in a 3.75% 30 year fixed conforming loan with 1.5pts credit (will pay for closing costs and a chunk of my impound reserves) on my Aliso rental with Alyson yesterday.  ;D

That is great rate. Is it investment property rate or PR/second home?

Investment property <60% LTV.

What do you guys think of a 5/5 ARM (principle + interest) at 2.8%, no points or origination fees.

PenFed or Navy Fed?

I'd opt for a 7/1 ARM at 2.625%.

NavyFed. Why 7/1 ARM over 5/5? Fixed low interest rate over 7 years does sound better but I don't think they gave us that option for refi. We'll ask our loan officer.
We also have the option of 30 year fixed at 3.375 but I think with origination fees and all, closing will cost us about $40k. And honestly we'll probably be in this house at most 10 years. The goal in that 10 years is to pay maximum principal with lowest monthly payments to allow additional cash flow for outside investments.

I'll PM you the contact info to my refi lender.  One is that the 7/1 ARM has a lower rate, fixed for a longer period, and the adjustment index is the 1-year LIBOR rate for the 7/1 ARM versus the 5-year CMT rate (basically the 5-year bond rate) for the 5/5 ARM.

This resets every 5 years right? So at the end of year five if the rate is 2.5% you get 2.5% for another five years? I would do the loan you quoted.

The re-set on the 5/5 ARM is the 5-year CMT plus 2% or 2.25% when the 5-year fixed period is up.  I rather deal with a 1-year LIBOR index on resets.

so with the new jobs report, anyone think the fed will move on the rates in september?  how about december?

Fed is setting the overnight rate which has little to do with 30yr mortgage rates.

Doesnt the fed rate directly affect availability of money for banks to lend  thus indirectly mortgage rates in genetal?
 
Just closed on a purchase, jumbo 30-year fixed @ 3.125% through Wells Fargo (no fees, no points). They are the builder's preferred lender. Was originally 3.25% but got additional .125% discount on the rate for existing relationship banking since I do most of banking through Wells Fargo. I don't know if that rate would have been available at the local branch.

Locked back in August for a purchase under the following terms: 30 yr fixed jumbo, 3.125%, no pts, -$5k back in lender credits. We're set to close next week.

This was with the builder's preferred lender, but it took quite a bit of shopping and back/forth to get this deal.

We shopped w/ Chase, WF, BoA, and QuickenLoans. We took our best offer back to the preferred lender and they beat it.
