Pretty much gave up on refinance option. Was starting the process just as the Fed made their emergency rate cut. The day before the rate cut the mortgage rate I was watching was 5.65% APR. Just checked this morning and the same lender has the same mortgage for 6.631% APR

What is a good account?
To a current lender a good account is someone who falls behind so they up the fees to 36%.

=====================
I was wondering if you or anyone on this thread has had any experience just calling current lender in trying to renegotiate a lower rate, a la credit card? Argue you have a better rate with a lender waiting in the wings.
I'd think they'd be overjoyed at the opportunity to keep a good account.
