Just talked to my girlfriend's brother. He bought his house 2 years ago and is paying 5%. I told him what you've been talking about with getting people into the 3s. He said he wants to refi but can't afford to... something about having to pay $600-700 and float $3k for a few months. I guess he can't afford to float the $3k.

I'm completely green about all this since I'm still about 6 months out from trying to get my first home. Any help explaining what the deal is and any suggestions on how he can make it work?

Sounds like he was mis informed or was dealing with someone who had him bringing money to the closing because he was short. If that's the case I can help him. Have him call me and tell him to forget 100% what he was told
By someone else. I don't need to pull credit or charge anything to find out if I can get something done. There are still plenty of people in my business who have no clue and sometimes have people give up hope who could Actualy get approved for a good loan. Have him call me it won't hurt. He shouldn't have to float anything or shell out 700 out of pocket. It just seems wierd.
