Mortgage Refinancing Help: Insurance

“Weigh the costs carefully of how long you will be staying in your home vs. how much of a savings you will be getting in a refinance. Make sure you include closing costs in your decision. ”

Get your interest rate and closing costs in writing as soon as you decide on a lender to work with. Get your lender to give you a commitment in advance of all of the costs that will be involved with your loan. Find out if the refinance loan you are getting has a pre-payment penalty as well. Sometimes lenders will leave out important information like this, if they think it might scare you away from refinancing with them.

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.

If you do not plan on staying in the house very long, refinancing may not be in your best interests.

When refinancing, don't take the first offer that comes around. Instead you should actively compare both interest rates and lenders.

If you plan on moving out of your existing home within the next few years, it may not be beneficial for you to refinance. Make sure you let your mortgage specialist know your future plans.
