REFINANCE INFORMATION CENTER
.................................
You might consider refinancing your mortgage for several reasons:
If you're dazzled by new low interest rates and dream of reducing your monthly
mortgage payments, if you foresee a major expense, or if you simply want
to pay down credit card debts with a better interest rate, you might just
get what you wish for. In matters of real estate, there's rarely a quick
and easy formula for all, but the profiles below will help you pinpoint
your refinancing options. Some of the primary reasons for refinancing are
to lower monthly payments, pay off a loan or build equity faster, convert
an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) into a fixed-rate mortgage, or change
other loan terms.
Get a lower interest rate. Generally, this is the reason most
people refinance their mortgage. Interest rates may have fallen since
you financed your home. By refinancing your mortgage at a lower rate,
you will pay less interest over the life of your loan.
Lower your monthly payment amount. There
are two ways to lower your monthly payment. If current interest rates
are comparable to your existing rate, you can refinance and lower your
mortgage payments by extending the term of your mortgage. If interest
rates drop, you can refinance with your existing term, but at a lower
rate. This will also lower your monthly payment amount.
Convert to a fixed interest rate.
You may have an adjustable-rate mortgage and want to switch to a fixed
rate for a consistent mortgage payment each month.
Reduce your loan term. By reducing
your loan term and increasing your payment amount, you build equity more
quickly and may save thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.
Cash out your equity. Mortgage interest
rates are often lower than consumer loans, resulting in a lower monthly
payment. In addition, the interest you pay on a mortgage may be tax deductible.
You can use the equity you have accumulated in your home for debt consolidation
, home improvements, a new car, educational expenses or other financial
needs.
