|
Q.- Can my closing costs be financed into the loan?
|
|
A.- Yes, usually all costs, impounds and fees, except your property's appraisal fee, can be financed into the loan.
An exception to this might be, if after these costs are added to the loan, your loan's Loan-To-Value (LTV) ratio exceeds your loan's approved LTV ratio. Accordingly, it's possible to refinance your mortgage by only coming out- of-pocket for the cost of the appraisal which is usually $300-$350. |
|
Q.- Are interest rates higher if I get "cash out" when I refinance?
|
|
A.- The interest rate you pay on a cash-out refinance loan will generally be the same that you pay on a non-cash-out loan.
There may be an incremental fee associated with a cash-out refinance loan depending on the specific loan program you choose and the loan-to-value ratio. Using the equity in your home to pay off other bills can be a smart thing. Consider taking some money out to pay off credit card bills, auto loans and any debt that has interest that is not tax deductible. You may be able to deduct the interest on the money you take out to pay off that debt. Consult your tax advisor to be sure. |
|
Q.- Should I "pay points" to get a lower interest rate?
|
|
A.- First, paying points to buy a lower interest rate is strictly an option you have, if you're refinancing your mortgage.
However, paying points may not be your best option. Points paid on a refinance loan can be deducted from your taxes only in small increments - 1/30th a year for a 30-year mortgage - meaning it could be several years before your lower rate makes up for the points you pay. If you're buying a home however, points paid are a deductible expense for that year. Consult your tax advisor to be sure. |
|
Q.- How long does the refinance process take?
|
|
A.- With Mortgage Match, refinancing usually takes 10 to 15 days... depending on a few things. One of the key factors
for timely refinancing is how quickly an appropriate appraisal can be obtained. In particularly active real estate markets, appraisals can be difficult to schedule and have completed in a time-efficient manner. Having your paperwork available and ready for verfication is a good idea too. See the checklist here. Being prepared in this regard helps to speed the process tremendously. |
|
Q.- How much will my closing costs be?
|
|
A.- A general guideline is that your closing costs will be approximately 2% of your loan amount. And, this will cover
prepaid interest, taxes, impounds where they are required, and title insurance. However, in some cases your old mortgage will have funds in escrow which may cover these costs. Most borrowers though, have these costs financed into their loan when they can. |
|
Q.- Will I have PMI on my refinance loan?
|
|
A.- The vast majority of borrowers will not have PMI with their loans. At Mortgage Match, we intentionally work
with lenders who only require PMI in certain, special situations. |
|
Q.- Should I refinance from an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) to a Fixed Rate Mortgage?
|
|
A.- It really depends on your situation, and what your plans and goals are. Generally, it's a good idea to get the
lowest fixed-rate possible if you plan on keeping the property long term. And, if you can afford the higher payments which may accompany a fixed rate loan for the first or next five years. However, if you're in the first year of a five-year Adjustable Rate Mortgage, and you plan on moving in three years, it may not make sense for you to refinance. A Mortgage Match Senior Loan Consultant can help you make the best decision. |
|
Q.- I believe I have bad or poor credit. Can I still refinance?
|
|
A.- You don't necessarily need good credit to refinance your mortgage. In a refinance situation, lenders will look at
other things in addition to your FICO score. A big factor is your loan-to-value ratio. Also, you could have bad credit, but if you've handled your current mortgage payments well... despite other problems, having a good mortgage payment history can compensate for bad credit. Additionally, there are lenders who will even work with you if you're currently in a troubled mortgage relationship. Overall, a lot depends on your unique situation. A Mortgage Match Senior Loan Consultant will be glad to assist you in determining your best options when refinancing with bad or poor credit. |
