My townhouse I'm sitting at 6% though, so refinancing down to 3.5% might just be worth it.

Dumb question, but are you upside down at all? I know a lot of places won't do a refinance if you owe more than it's worth. That's my current issue with my townhouse, but we plan to pay a bunch off it once we sell the Fargo house.
Have you done a check through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to see if your home is backed by either. If it is, you can refinance, likely without an appraisal with no out of pocket costs to you. It's a free online check and I would be happy to walk you through it or even just do it for you.

I will be out of the office all day today (Wed) as I'm going to Milwaukee to purchase an STi. Either leave me a message with the best time to call back tomorrow or just call me anytime on Thursday.
