D2bets, that's a great point and that's kind of the million dollar question.
What good does that do? As far as I can tell, it will help you if you have to refinance in a couple of years if you keep your credit good, since chances are,if anyone could've or would've refinanced by now they would have done so. I don't see where that helps much if you are selling, since market value and appraised value are two different things. Seems like it will help the lending
institutions more than anything.
