Mortgage Refinancing Help

 Resist "no cost" refinancing. No cost doesn't mean free. On the contrary: The closing costs are usually bundled into the new mortgage, which means you pay interest on them. The fees associated with a 30-year mortgage could cost you more than double what they would have had you simply written a check for them at closing. Or, if the costs aren't bundled in, you'll be charged a slightly higher interest rate. Either way, the lender wins.

 Be Ready. After your loan is approved, you'll need to sign your loan documents and provide a check for any out-of-pocket closing costs. Make sure the funds are available in your account, and be ready to make room in your schedule to read and sign your loan documents as soon as possible.
These days most people request a Good Faith Estimate (GFE), but have no clue what to look for on the GFE. Make sure you request a GFE that has ALL fees estimated and disclosed. This includes: origination points, processing, lender, appraisal, title, escrow... ALL FEES... especially the Yield Spread Premium or YSP.
Carefully review the estimated closing costs. If you decide to lock in the rate, the lender will send you a "good faith estimate" of your closing costs within three days. Go over the numbers carefully, and compare them to the ones that appear on the final settlement statement (the HUD-1) from your previous mortgage.
Before you refinance a loan, make sure that you carefully analyze any fees that your lender is including on the loan. The Department of Housing and Urban Development can provide you with a list of standard fees. Use it to make sure that your lender isn't tacking on anything extravagant. And by all means, compare their fees with other lenders in the market.
