MORTGAGE BROKES? Is an FHA 1 Year ARM loan at 5% a good deal? We are closing next month.?

We are financing 95%LTV. The builder is paying all our downpayment and closing costs. Also, how likely is it that we can refinance after 2 years. Our credit score isnt really all that excellent now, but we expect that if we have no more late payments and 2 existing collections disppear that we might see an improvement in our FICO score.

      If your credit is terrible, but you qualify for FHA, then you qualify for a fixed rate. Why in the world would you do an adjustable? You are going to set yourself up for failure. The rate you've been quoted sounds like a b.s. deal, just get a fixed rate. If the builder is giving you incentives, then I'm sure you're using their "preferred lender". By using someone else I'm sure you would lose your incentives. Tell the loan officer to place you on a fixed rate PERIOD.
