I have a floating rate at 4.2% on a second mortgage. Should I try to lock/refinance? Not sure Wells Fargo would do it for me at a good rate. Should I ask them? by vanloo40679 from Westlake Village, California. Jul 23rd 2014
If you have 2 loans, and consolidate them into one loan, fixed, it may benefit you versus when your second mortgage starts to adjust. Give me a call or send me an email, I would be happy to help you determine what works best for you.
It depends on several factors.. what's your loan balance on the first and 2nd? What is your property worth? What's the rate on the first mortgage? etc.. without knowing all the details, it's hard to advise, but in general. your ARM rate is not much lower that fixed rates are today.. with the promise of higher rates in the future, now would be a good time to lock in a fixed rate and refinance both loans into one.. But I wouldn't call Wells Fargo.. your far better off contacting a local mortgage broker. he has access to numerous lenders and can shop for the best rate possible..

If the second loan is large enough that it could increase your payment significantly once rates slowly increase over the next year, you might consider consolidating it with your first as no one expects rates to be lower the end of the year or beyond, though it never predictable for certain.On looking to Wells Fargo to do it for you, I am going to be a bit biased.
