There is no such limit on the number of times you can go for home refinance loans. Most lenders prefer that you have no late payment for the past 12 months before you switch over to a new loan.
Be Patient. Processing all of the paperwork that's required for a new loan takes time. Be patient while your loan moves through the system. Protect your credit score by paying your bills and making your mortgage payments on time and not taking on any more new debt than you absolutely have to.
If you have equity built up in your home, and you need cash, you have two choices: get a home equity loan or utilize cash-out refinancing. Each has its pros and cons, so be sure to evaluate your situation carefully prior to making a decision.
Ask for the reissue rate on your title work. If you've taken a mortgage within the past two years, or are using the same lender, you might be granted this option, which can save you as much as 70 percent on your title work. An editor at this magazine didn't know about this potential savings when he refinanced his mortgage; fortunately his lawyer did. The savings more than covered the attorney's fees. However, if it's been several years since you took out a home loan, or if you're using a new lender, you'll likely have to pay for a new title.
Ask the company carrying your current title insurance policy what it would cost to reissue the policy for a new loan. This may reduce your cost.
