Questions
Helpful Questions Before You Apply
How do I know if refinancing makes sense?
Start with the reason for refinancing, then compare closing costs, payment change, break-even timing, loan term, and long-term cost.
What is a break-even point?
It is the point where estimated monthly savings may offset refinance costs. It is only one part of the decision, not the whole strategy.
Should I compare a refinance with a HELOC?
Often, yes. If you have a favorable first mortgage, a HELOC or second mortgage may be worth comparing before replacing the first loan.
Can a refinance help remove mortgage insurance?
Possibly. Rich can review whether your current loan, equity, and lender options make that path worth exploring.
