Refinacing your mortgage can allow you to take cash out of the equity which you have built in your home. You can pay off your higher interest debts and pay all of your debts at a lower interest rate. This will allow you to save money on a monthly basis and achieve your financial security.
You have a legal right to a good faith estimate. Get a copy of this document and go over it with a fine tooth comb, it will reveal where there is a real problem.
Don't rely on published rates. "No one's going to advertise their worst product," says Keith T. Gumbinger of HSH Associates, a Butler, NJ, firm that tracks mortgage rates. "They advertise the best possible rate, which probably gets offered to only the top 10 percent of applicants."
Once you know the reason for refinancing, you should ask your mortgage specialist whether or not it would be beneficial for you to refinance at this time or whether it may be more beneficial to wait.
