Hi all,

Four points:

1. Loan info

Thanks for the info. It's clear that I need to speak with a Real Live Human Being (tm) and will do so. Also, I'm not up to speed on FHA loans ... can someone provide a primer, or a link to one?

2. A little more on my monthlies

Our total monthly debt is $148/mo. - negligible (student loan). That's it. I can't imagine what else I can reveal under the kimono, but ask and if it's reasonable, I'll pull it further up if it will help "diagnose" the situation.

3. Local banks

My original post also asked if anyone could provide recommended local banks here in SF. If anyone from SF has a lender they recommend, I'd appreciate a contact point, as well as the reason why. (Jed, saw your comment and details - thx.)

4. Thanks

Finally, thanks for the info. I know that everyone here (myself included) has their own agenda and at the end of the day, this is all business. Your expertise and candor is appreciated.

@ Sean,

Thanks for your reply. We're clear on LendingTree's model, and we were surprised as well. We had the same reaction as you did and wondered if it was a technical issue, so we emailed them. The response was, "No, no glitch, your criteria isn't matching anyone's terms."
