WHY REFINANCE YOUR HOME

WHY REFINANCE YOUR HOME?

One of the most common reasons for a home mortgage refinance is to take advantage of lower interest rates and monthly payments. You can save a significant amount of money by refinancing your mortgage if your current interest rate is higher than what is available in the market. You can end up saving money without making any investments through low-cost and no-cost options.

Popular Loan Options for Lowing Your Mortgage Payment

FHA LOAN:

A government-insured FHA loan offers fixed-rate security that can help you refinance out of a mortgage payment that is skyrocketing. You can use our easy FHA Streamline tool to find out if you can refinance without an appraisal.

30-Year LOAN:

If you’re looking for traditional loan options, you can lock in today with a 30-year fixed.

ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE:

You can get the lowest rates in the market with a 5-year or 7-year ARM that will help you save thousands of dollars compared to a traditional fixed-rate mortgage for the first 5 to 7 years of your loan.

VA LOAN:

If you’re a military member, spouse, or qualified veteran you can get a lower payment and rate with a VA loan. You can ask us if you’re eligible to avail the many benefits of a VA loan. One of the best ways to save on your mortgage payments is by getting an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) loan, especially if you’re looking for low payments, or are a first-time home buyer. However, if you’re looking to stay in your home for a longer period, you can refinance your mortgage into a long-term fixed rate loan. This will allow you to achieve peace of mind with the knowledge that your payment and rates won’t change for a long time.

Popular Options for Lowering Your Refinancing Investment Properties

30-Year Loan:

You’ll get a fixed monthly payment with no surprises.

15-Year Loan:

You can borrow from your equity at extremely low rates or pay off your investment quickly. Interest-only loans are one of the best ways to lower your monthly mortgage payments at the start, just like ARMs, but your loan balance won’t decrease as you’re not paying any principal. You can refinance to start paying off your loan if you’re planning on staying in your home long-term. Most of the times, you can refinance your interest-only loan into a 30-Year fixed rate loan with the payments remaining the same.

Popular Options for Refinancing Your Interest-Only Loan into a Fully-Amortized Loan:

30-Year Fixed Rate Loan:

Know that your payments will be fixed and avoid any surprises. Plans can change over time, and the loan or home that you thought you’ll have for some time can turn into a temporary one. If you’re planning on selling your home soon, and no longer need a long-term rate, you should think about converting your 30-Year fixed loan into an ARM or a 3/1, 5/1, or 7/1 loan program to take advantage of lower payments and rates.
