Is there such a thing as a "no-cost" refinance in NM?

Hi Gwen, companies that advertise "no-cost" refinances are being a bit deceptive. What they are doing are increasing the interest rate for the life of the loan in order to create a higher lender credit that can be used to reduce closing costs, (any lender can do this), which could cost you much more in the long run. However if you don't have enough equity to wrap in closing costs and don't have money to bring to closing, this may be a sensible solution, but it would take a little analysis of the numbers to make sure.

No.. absolutely not. and if you think about it, it makes sense.. Title companies, escrow agents, attorneys, appraisers, and even your loan officer.. none of these people work for free.. The term "no cost refi" should better read "No out of pocket costs refi".. Because all loans have closing costs, then the real question is how to pay for them.. Assuming you have sufficient equity, you can finance the costs into your new loan, you can bring cash to the table, or you can select a higher than par interest rate and have your loan officer give you a credit to pay the costs for you, but in all of these scenarios, it's you paying the costs..
