For several months, I prepared to take on a new job that brought in less money, but the schedule allowed me to take on 2 other part-time jobs that carried me to my next chapter.Start small. 

I would also shop with a local mortgage broker as currently United Wholesale Mortgage is running a 125 bps special on Government refinances through the end of September meaning if you did go FHA streamline then you should be getting a rate of around 5% (borrower paid)4) If you havent asked, at 700K+ loan tell your lender you want to go Borrower Paid and you expect them to only charge a 1% origination charge fee.
