Mortgage Refinancing Help: Wisconsin
“Pull your credit report from the bureaus and review it for any negative items (late pays, collections etc) and inaccurate detail. Try to dispute negative items and remove them from the report. If required pay off any unpaid debt. Otherwise, you won't get a low rate and may not even qualify. Of course there are lenders in the subprime market who may offer you a bad credit refinance loan, but it's better to avoid them as they'll possible charge higher rates and fees.

 There is a refinancing myth that says you should not refinance your mortgage unless your interest rate will be at least two points less. This myth is not necessarily true if there are other benefits to the refinance or other reasons behind it.

 Stick with a simple loan. It is easier to understand and less likely to get you into trouble. Adjustable-rate mortgages may seem like a way to get a bigger house now or to keep more money now, but when the rates adjust you can get into trouble. Avoid anything with a balloon payment. Just choose a simple 30-year mortgage you can easily afford.
If there are only a few years left on your current loan, it's no use refinancing with a long term loan. You may need extra cash but with a long term loan, you'll end up paying more for the entire loan term.
If your monthly payment on a fixed-rate loan includes escrow amounts for taxes and insurance, your payment each month could change over time due to changes in property taxes, insurance, or community association fees.
If you are paying private insurance on your current mortgage, refinancing may allow you to do away with this unnecessary expense.
