Looking to Refinance but Have a Few Questions...

I have outstanding credit (low 800s); never missed a payment; am solidly employed. My mortgage was for about 105k, 30y, 6%. I am trying to see if I can get it to about 4.5%. The mortgage is nearly 3 years old and the monthly payment is $642.1. Can I only do this through that bank that owns my mortgage?2. If so, do the fees vary per bank?3. Given the amount of my mortgage, what am I looking to pay for the refinance fees? by sprawlings5565 from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mar 11th 2011 Reply

You can go to any bank you choose. Fee's do vary by bank, but for the most part should be around $3000. If you carry Impounds, pay taxes and insurance through your payment, then the closing cost would be slighty higher, since those are collected when refinancing. You should also pay close attention to the APR. Not just the rate. If you are offered 4.75% and the APR is 4.99%, then there are more fees financed than if you were to have an APR of 4.85%. The closer the rate is top the APR the less fees you pay. You can roll the Fees into the loan. My name is Rich, Please email me for a rate quote @ rconstantine@myhsoa.com. Hope this helps. RC

No you can do this through any approved lender. Do you know how much equity you have in the property? (i.e. did you put 20% or more down or did you do FHA? Or other?

Also, your fees are determined as follows; you can either pay origination fee and get a lower rate, or you can still get a slightly higher rate with no origination fee. Many states have caps on what a lender can charge you. Always, always compare your APR rates on your truth in lending statements that the lender MUST give you within 3 days of your application. Also, if you are quoted a rate, the person quoting must provide an APR rate with the interest rate. The closer the interest rate is to the APR rate, the less you are paying in fees. Don't compare the fee breakdown; compare the APR. I hope that helps you! 505-238-1218

If you go through your bank the rate will most likely be higher than if you go to a mortgage broker who can shop your loan and get you the best rate possible. Your P/I payment on 105K at 4.5 is $532.02 - your fees shouldnt be more than $3,000.

What is the value of your property now? Do you have an FHA, VA, USDA or Conventional loan? 4.5% is possible home many years are you want to refinance to 30/25/20/15? Fees do vary. I'd love to talk in more detail depending on the state this property is located in.
