Here is some important information for anyone who is thinking about buying or refinancing.  At the close of 2011, President Obama signed into law the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011.  It is important to know the impacts of this continuation.  The Federal Housing Finance Agency was directed to increase fees charged by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  These increases will be passed on to the consumer in the form of higher interest rates.   I'm passing this information on to you to keep you informed.  My ultimate goal is to help you get locked into the lowest rate you can and find that Maui address you've been dreaming of.  As always, I am here to answer questions.  Here is a great article on this topic that help explain it more.
