Scenarios Where Refinancing in Florida May Be Beneficial
For many homeowners, it is not easy to know when to refinance. Will the benefits outweigh the costs?
That is again a question where the answer depends on your individual needs. We can help you calculate how much money you could potentially save with a refinance when you contact us for your consultation.
But in the meantime, here are some examples of scenarios where we might recommend a refinance.
Maybe you originally applied for a mortgage with a much lower credit score and income. You now qualify for better rates. Refinancing could allow you to start paying those lower rates.
Have interest rates dropped? Refinancing might allow you to pay today’s lower rates instead of the rates you locked in years ago. In some situations, you also might be able to reduce your loan term without your monthly payments going up much.
Has your adjustable rate mortgage become expensive? Would you be paying less if you had a fixed rate mortgage with today’s rates? We can help you refinance to those rates.
Perhaps you just discovered that you will be moving out of your home in a year or two. Refinancing could save you money with a low introductory rate on an adjustable rate mortgage if you have a fixed rate mortgage currently.
You pay for mortgage insurance, and you want to drop it. Your equity makes that possible, but you might need to refinance to make it happen.
You have a lot of high interest debts that you do not expect to pay off anytime soon. You want to reduce the interest rate on them to save with a refinance.
Other situations also exist where refinancing may be helpful.
Keep in mind that sometimes, however, you do not have to refinance to make changes to your home loan. Simply recasting may be all you need to do for an adjustment in loan term, for example.
We can help you to examine all of your options during your consultation. We want to find the avenue that will be most affordable and convenient for you.
