We bought our house on 7/11/06 for 123,900. we used 100% financing of about 80/20.

our first loan is now $99,052.98 and 7.85% fixed.
our second loan is now $24,570.94 and 10.85% fixed for another 18 months before it goes ARM.
the total mortgage is now $123,623.92 .
our total monthly payment is $772.16 and $233.18 (respectivly) for a total of $1,005.34 a month.

we have primary and secondary goals with refinancing.
1 - Maintain/Lower monthly mortgage payments.
2 - lower interest rate and avoid the future adjustable.
3 - pull out money for what appears to be a good investment (hoping for 13K)

if demographics are a factor then:
Glendale AZ, 85301
534 Sq ft.
1/1 bed bath
beautiful inside and out
added an aluminum 8x10 outdoor shed after we bought the property.

previous apraisel at time of purchase $130,500

Any advice or suggestions you can give will be welcomed. The market around here is picking up and we hope it'd be worth it to refi b4 fed rates go up.

I've seen ads in papers that say "rent to own" to purchase a house. How does that work?

My boss waited till I went to Macdonalds and turned my radio off. It was on low enough to just barely hear!! I have it on cause most of the time you can actually hear a pin drop on our carpet tiles.

When working without a partner or real estate agent what is the procedure for signing a sales contract and who are the witness who need to be present to validate the contract? Once the owner of a property agrees to sell to me, what is the procedure for getting the contract signed and how do I find the witnesses?

I have been watching two funds managed by Vestin: VRTA and VRTB, both listed on Nasdaq. Both are trading at substantial discounts to book or original value. Both are paying dividends.
What is the market telling us?

You took out a 30-year mortgage (monthly payments) for £130,000 at 8.90% and payment number 35 is due today. You are deciding whether you should refinance the outstanding principal by borrowing at today’s lower rate of 6.70% an amount that just pays off the old loan. The new loan is for 30 years as of today. The total fees for getting the new loan equal 3.1% of the borrowed principal, and you will pay the fees today with funds from your savings account.
Precisely describe how the refinancing decision changes your cash flows.

What companies do you know of that offer "perks" to their investors?
For example, Wrigley sends a box of gum in December and IBM offers a discount on their computers to investors. Also, are there any annual stockholder meetings that are outstanding?

I've set myself some pretty serious Q1 targets and objectives and am concerned they're too ambitious. Any suggestions on how I can work smarter instead of harder would be appreciated.
