I have a home worth 205,000, with 160,000 left on the mortgage, currently at a 6% rate. If I make roughly 55k and my wife makes 40k a year with a similar credit score, can I expect a low rate for my refinance? Any help would be appreciated. by ytrent_954_571 from Panama City, Florida. Jan 23rd 2012
Hi, As long as your debt to income ratio works you should be able to get a low rate. You should be able to save some money. If you would like to discuss further please give me a call. Thanks! Michelle 201-962-3555
Yes... rates are very low right now and it's even possible to get a 15 year mortgage at the same payment your paying now... contact a local mortgage broker, not a bank and apply with them.. they have access to numerous lenders and can find the right lender for your particular scenario..

You might qualify for a rate as low as 3.875% on a 30 year feaxed and 3.25% for a 15 year fixed.
Rates are great. Refinancing from from a 6% rate would get you a new rate for 30 years in the low 4s or high 3s but a 15 year would be in the mid 3s and probably have a payment about the same as you have now. Contact a local Mortgage Banker/Broker, rather than one of the big banks. Unlike a bank employee, who is most likely just an order taker, a Mortgage Broker/Banker is Trained, Tested and Licensed in all aspects of Mortgage Origination. He/She will have access to loan products of many lenders, not just those of one bank, and can help you understand the different options that are available to you and properly guide you into the one that makes the best sense for your situation.
