What You Need to Know About Refinancing Your Mortgage

The Basics:

Refinancing is the act of replacing an existing mortgage with a new one. When deciding whether you should refinance, the first step is to establish your financial goals. The most common reasons to refinance are:

  • Lower monthly payments
  • Get cash back
  • Consolidate debt
  • Change your loan term

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

When should I refinance my mortgage?

As long as your current home loan is at least six months old, refinancing could be an option for you. There are several ways you can save money by refinancing.

What documents are required to refinance?

  • Proof of income (recent paystubs, W-2’s)
  • If self-employed, copies of recent income tax returns
  • Proof of homeowners insurance
  • Photo ID

How much does it cost to refinance?

Generally speaking, your closing costs will vary depending on the type of refinance you choose, your interest rate, your credit rating and/or the appraised value of your home. Closing costs are very important because they can significantly affect your refinance as well as the equity in your home. At Nutter, we strive to keep your closing costs as low as possible or, in some cases, eliminate them altogether.

We can typically eliminate discount points, origination fees, surveys and title fees. We also transfer your tax and insurance escrow account so you are not required to pay escrow money at closing. This way every dollar you save on your monthly house payment, is actually a dollar in your pocket. Please note, the total finance charge may be higher over the life of the loan in comparison to your existing loan if the loan were to be fully amortized and not paid off prior to full satisfaction.

What is a cash back refinance?

A cash back refinance is a great way to use the equity in your home by taking money out to pay for (or pay off!) what you need and maintain one low, monthly mortgage payment. Remember a cash back refinance is not a second mortgage – it’s like getting a brand new first mortgage! A cash back refinance can also be used to get rid of a risky Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC).
