 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.

 Mortgage can last a lifetime and that extra 1% can add up to literally thousands of dollars over the years. I have friends that are in their 70s and still paying off their home loans. It'll pay off in the long run to make sure you find the best deal possible. Don't let poor credit stop you from refinancing your home.
If you have bad credit, find a lender who is willing to work with you and offer you reasonable loan terms.
If you are planning to stay in your home for several years, then you can save money by paying points for lower interest rates. You pay up front fees to ensure you have lower interest payments over the course of your loan. Remember, this only works if you keep your mortgage for several months.
Start with your current lender. If you're a good customer-you hold a sizable mortgage, pay on time, and maintain good credit-your existing lender will probably do everything in its power to keep your business. The company may cut you a break on fees for things like appraisals, surveys, and inspections if the information is current and you meet other requirements.
