How long do I have to wait (if at all) to refinance after purchasing a home?

More info needed.. The rules are different depending on the loan product you have now and the loan product you are going to.. Example.. if you are FHA now and you want to go back to FHA, then you have to wait 12 months, and your payment must be 5% or more lower than it is now.. If you are conventional now and want to go back to conventional, then there is no waiting period, but there are rules regarding the "Net Tangible Benefit".. This means that there has to be a good benefit to you to refinance. Lower payment, lower interest rate, shorter term, moving from a ARM to a fixed rate mortgage, removing monthly mortgage insurance, etc.. If you refinance inside of 6 months, then the lower of the original purchase price/current appraised value will be used.. if you go outside of 6 months, then the current appraised value will be used..

Technically, you can refinance right away... But you may be limited in loan choices, as nicely laid out. It is not common to refinance right after buying a house... so what is going on? Did you pay cash for the house?
