Home refinance: A short guide to refinancing your home mortgage

Why refinance your home? There are a number of reasons to consider refinancing the loan on your home. Some people refinance as a way of taking advantage of lower interest rates, called Rate and Term REFI, enabling them to reduce their monthly mortgage payments without pulling any home equity out. Some refinance to a shorter-term mortgage, which enables them to build equity in their homes faster. And some homeowners refinance to tap into the equity they've accumulated in their houses, using the funds for home improvement or other needs, such as debt consolidation or their children's education, we called these types on loans HELCO or Home Equity Line of Credit

Do you want to take advantage of these benefits, but wonder if refinancing will be worth the time and money you'll need to invest? Do you feel unsure about the entire refinancing process? Please call us, don’t worry. The refinancing process is very simple. It involves paying off your existing mortgage loan and taking out a new one on the same house. Your new mortgage loan could be at a more attractive interest rate, or for a different term. Or, you could get an entirely different type of loan — for example, you could switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage.

If it's been a few years since you got your current mortgage loan, you may need to refresh your memory about some of the terminology used on these pages. You can also have our loan officers go over everything and you do not need to be afraid to ask questions about your refinance.
