Nora, all it means is you'll pay PMI on the percent...Urgh to find the words.
If you put down 20%, you don't typically have to pay PMI. If you put down let's say 15%, you might have to pay PMI (depends on the first time buyer program), but only on 5%, and once you've got 20% equity in your home, the PMI is usually canceled.
eta...
Oh, gotcha, P-C. I fear no wield.

You know, I was thinking of going through a lot of personal/emotional/theraputic tags recently (didn't as it turned out) and was going to just send you a quick note to ignore for the duration. So, for me, this is a good solution. If I don't want them mentioned, I would let you know.
Thanks. Really, if you don't want me to mention it, then please tell me. Because otherwise my solution would be to stop doing it altogether to avoid hurting people, and I know there are some people who do enjoy it.
P-C, you can skip mentioning my tag changes too.
Oh, I didn't realize. I've never gotten any spam from them, though.
You can also *cough* lie blatently to them and get in...
God those are great pictures. And did we all realize/remember/really really remember how gorgeous Jess is? Cause she is.
I have sealing wax, but have never used it.
And Laura, you are my sistah in much!
We must stroll the beach when I get to San Diego for Captiva training. Of course I have no idea when I will schedule that since I have been so crazed. The training is boring stuff that won't require more than my showing up. Contractually someone here has to go so I volunteered for obvious reasons. I can't wait to clear some time to get out there.
Nora, a good creative mortgage broker can work miracles. Home ownership is often painful, but I have never regretted it.
Juliana (and anyone else who wants to see snow), I created a buffistas@hotmail.com / foamy login at Snapfish.
P-C, I'll be hurt and heartbroken if you don't mention my new tag, when that happens. I'm all sensitive and stuff.

This is absolutely the key. My broker (and the accountant he referred me to) were essential to my buying. Otherwise I don't think I'd have known where to start. They made it really easy. Also my broker has already re-financed us twice. He's really great about keeping on top of the changing interest rates. Both were no fee re-fis too.
