Refinance

Friday, November 28, 2008

If you pay off your present loan with another loan with different terms and condition, this is called Refinance. This is mainly done to reduce the interest rates or cost of the loan. Sometimes it is also done to pull out the home-equity so that it can be used to pay off some high interest rate credit card debts. It can also be done to increase or decrease the time period of the loan. You can also turn the mortgage from ARM to FRM by refinancing. Even you can opt for refinancing to lower the monthly mortgage payments by increasing the total duration of the loan period. And if you want to pay off the loan early as you are getting a lower interest rate, you can opt out this option of refinancing.



By the way, sometimes your lenders can claim prepayment penalty if you are going for refinancing before a certain period of time. So you have to calculate whether you are actually getting any benefits after refinancing as you will also have to pay the prepayment penalty. Last but not the least, if you want to refinance then first go to your lender and check out whether he can offer you what rates and terms you want. If he or she can’t offer you what you want then you can shop for the lenders and check out who can offer you the best rates and terms. There is another kind of refinance which is called Cash-out refinance. This type of refinance is mainly used for home improvement or paying off any credit card debts or student loan.
