Open Question: Group rates for auto insurance?
My employer’s benefits department sent me info stating that I could get “group rates” for home and auto insurance (thru “MetLife Home and Auto” and “Travelers” insurance companies). Without simply telling me to go check their rates, please tell me if there is such thing as group auto insurance or group home insurance — I think it’s a gimmick to attract customers to two insurers who have not been in the business long. Comments?

Open Question: Should we stick out our lease, or should we buy a home?
My fiancee and I were planning on buying a home next year. On a whim, I applied to be pre-approved.

During thing time, we got fed up with our apartment complex. We moved on June 29th to a luxury apartment community. As full time students, and workers, we’re barely making ends meet — but it means that we’re not getting mugged on the way into our apartment anymore.
I got a call last night from the mortgage agent I applied with last month. She told me I was pre-approved for a decent amount.

We just moved into our new place! Our rent payment is $900 for a one-bedroom. Looking in the area that we originally wanted to buy in, we can get a move-in ready home for under 70k. That’s $500-$600 for at least three bedrooms – after taxes and insurance.

Obviously, I want to go for the house. But we have twelve months left on our lease! I think we’d have to pay 2 months to break it. And, as I said, we’re broke. [The loan that the mortgage company supplies is along with a local grant for down payment assistance and closing costs; we're first time home buyers]

Should we pay $1700 to get out of our lease? Can we write this into a purchase agreement as a clause?

Or should we stick it out another year? We’re getting married next fall – do we want to deal with wedding planning AND real estate drama? Also, I’m afraid my credit rating will drop as the mortgage company’s requirements go up. I feel like I need to do this, or we won’t realize our home ownership dream for a number of years.

Help!
Grant is from the city that we’re looking to buy it. 10k to down payment and closing costs. I work for said city, and thus know that it’s not a mess-up.

Fiancee’s credit rating brings mine down. He’s working on it (has been for *years*).

Yep. Am currently running way too tight on my budget. Should have re-evaluated before moving to expensive apartment. But, again, if we were to buy a house, I would be fine.

Open Question: Grad student – am I a good candidate for a mortgage?
I am 23, turning 24 this year. I am a PhD graduate student and will be for another 3-4 years. I am paid a stipend of $24k/yr and my tuition and health insurance is covered as long as I’m in school. My FICO is 760. I have $16k in student loans from undergrad that are currently deferred until I’m finished with school. I have no credit card or consumer debt, never had. I have $4k in retirement funds and $2k in an emergency fund. My savings account should be up to $6k by December, unless something goes wrong. All this I have saved from my measely income for 2 years. I also own my car outright, paid for in cash. (In that timeframe I’ve also covered moving expenses and an apartment full of new furniture + electronics.) So I would say I’m pretty good with money for my age.

My current rent is $675, nothing included. I’m wondering if it is smarter to buy. I will stay in the area for another 3 years, perhaps more if I decide to stay and work here after graduation. I have a good FICO score so I think I would get a reasonable rate (5.0%?). My credit report shows 5 years of history, all my accounts are in good standing, nothing negative. My available credit limit is approx. $10k and I never carry balances. In my area, I can get a 1bd/1ba condo for $100k, HOA fees approx $150/mo. If I apply for a 30yr mortgage, according to the calculators my monthly payment can range $530-730. I will only have the $6k from savings to put down though. But with Obama’s $8k incentive…. do you think I should even be thinking about buying? I would just really like to have a “home” and not have to apartment-hop after every lease due to management, move furniture, not allowed pets or this or that anymore.

Would they even look at me if I walked into a bank to ask about my loan eligibility?

TIA. Advice from loan officers or those experienced in mortgages are greatly appreciated!
I want to add that I would do the FHA.
