Frequently Asked Questions
When should you refinance your home?
Refinancing is a great option if you are confident it will save you money. Be sure to check the terms of your current home loan to see if there is a prepayment penalty. Next, find out what the closing costs would be on your new loan. If you plan to stay in the house for the long-term after you refinance, want to renovate to increase the home’s value, or will save money with a cash-out refinance that allows you to borrow at a lower rate, a mortgage refinance may be a good option for you.
What happens when you refinance a mortgage?
You will go through the same process of applying for a new mortgage and closing on your home loan. The new mortgage will pay off the old one.
How soon can you refinance your mortgage?
The answer will depend on the type of home loan you have now. If you’re looking to do a cash-out refinance, you must have enough equity first.
Does mortgage refinance require appraisal?
There are exceptions, but most home loan refinances do require an appraisal of the home’s current value.
