LHarveyMadman,
Thank you for your very informative and coherent feedback.
A modification of my loan to:
1
st loan: 4% for 30 years (principal and interest)
2
nd loan: 5% for 30 years (principal and interest)
will bring my net cash flow of 170 a month. I am very confident that with these terms, my husband and I will be able to maintain our payments. Our income is also expected to increase once I graduate this coming May.
My husband and I have maintained excellent credit rating currently above 760 all these years. It will be a shame to loose our good credit rating only because we could not refinance due to lack of equity in our home.
I will be revising my letter to Countrywide taking into account all your suggestions. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.
