I can assist you with exploring your FHA options in CA.

What your lender is experiencing is an adjustment due to a declining market clause they have recently added to their guidelines (assuming that they are an orginating/servicing lender)---FHA doesn't have these issues (not yet anyway)...

Have you considered FHA? It won't allow for 100%, but it will get you close (97.75%).

I agree with Eric---I think the fee to sell the note might be even higher given the loan amount being considered...

An appraisal for a SFR should run between 250-300 (no more then 350).
My apologies, I read the loan amount incorrectly---s(he) appears to be making almost 4.4% and not 6%.
I assume that you are going FULL DOC---if so, you should speak someone else to see if you can improve upon this...

Is this a multi-family residence? If not, the appraisal fee seems too high...
(S)he seems to determined to make approx. 6% in broker fees/YSP---seems excessive given the loan amount...

Again I repeat, there are still some lenders that are offering 100% financing without the 5% hit for declining markets---US Bank is just one of them that I'm aware of...
