Some have said that only in the case your new interest is at least two points lower, should you refinance your loan. That might have been true years ago, but since refinancing has been costing less over the last few years, it's never the wrong time to explore the options of a new mortgage! Refinancing your mortgage has a variety of advantages that will often make it worth the initial expenditure several times over.
Benefits
You could be able to bring down your interest rate (sometimes significantly) and reduce your monthly mortgage payment amount with a refinanced mortgage loan. Additionally, you might be given the option of pulling out some of your home equity by "cashing out" some funds to fix up your home, consolidate debt, or plan a special vacation. You might be able to refinance to a shorter-term mortgage, enabling you to build your home equity faster.
Expenses and Fees
As you probably expect, you will have to pay for the process of refinancing. You'll pay the same types of expenses and fees as you did with your existing mortgage. Among these can be settlement costs, an appraisal, lender's title insurance, underwriting fees, and so on.
Do the Math
You might look into paying points to reduce your interest rate. Your savings over the life of the mortgage loan might be significant if you have paid up front about 3% of the new loan balance. We recommend that you consult with a tax professional before acting on advice that any points paid can be deducted on your taxes.
Another cost that borrowers might take into account is that a reduced rate of interest will reduce the interest amount you'll deduct on your federal income taxes. Call us at 5626935048 to help you do the math.
Most people find that the savings each month quickly outweigh the initial cost of a refinance. We can help you explore what your options are, considering the effect a refinance may have on your taxes, how likely you might be to sell in the near future, and your cash on hand.
