Refinance your mortgage Boston Globe
CHECK YOUR CREDIT. Your score will determine your eligibility for a new loan; check it for about $20 at myfico.com (the site also has tips for improving your score). Every 20-point decline below 740 will mean additional fees, but with rates as low as they are, it’s worth shopping even if your credit isn’t tiptop. If your home loan is underwater but you’re current on your payments, you may still qualify via the government’s Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), which was extended through June 2012.
KNOW THE WORTH OF YOUR HOME. Any lender you choose will do its own home appraisal, but you’ll want to get an estimate before starting the process to be confident you have enough equity to make the cost of refinancing worth the savings. The better terms will generally go to homeowners refinancing 80 percent or less of their home’s appraised value. Compare estimates from online real estate information sites such as http://www.Zillow.com or http://www.Cyberhomes.com, as well as lender sites, including Bank of America and Chase.

Which bank offers the lowest interest rate for mortgage refinance in California?
I need to refinance my second/investment home in Milpitas California and I'm looking for a mortgage broker or a bank that offers lowest interest rate based on 700 or more fico score. Preferably a loan program with minimum monthly payment is preferred.
find the best rate you can find and then add 1% (1 point is what is the standard to add when dealing with an investment home)

I locked a mortgage refinance rate; should I walk if I find lower?
Might the lender be willing to lower his rate quote? or must I find a new lender if I think I can find a lower rate?
If you're going with a bank certainly see if they can lower it. If you're with a broker get a few quotes from some different brokers and see who comes out best. Get references from friends or family for someone they use.
Brokers can swap lenders if rates go lower, or renegotiate w/lenders, so you'll have better luck than with a bank.
quietly, covertly, find also a mortgage broker.
the bank only uses THEIR cash, the broker has lots of
lenders available
Where can I find the lowest interest rate for a mortgage refinance?
Where can I find the lowest interest rate for a mortgage refinance in Arizona? I would like to be able to look for it online.
Hi There,
Try typing in 'home loan interest rates' or 'arizona mortgage' in your Google search engine and see which mortgage companies come up in the search. Then see what each company has to offer. If its unclear which links to follow, check out the search links that show up in the right hand column. If you have good credit, for the lowest rates, look for websites offering 'wholesale rates'.
Keep in mind that interest rates are tough to compare between mortgage companies because they hinge on so many factors including your credit, term, and the type of loan you're interested in. Instead, focus on how much the mortgage company can lower your payment. Or, pay close attention to how long the company has been in the industry, client satisfaction rate, reliability, and trust. You can typically get a good idea of how a mortgage company is received by the public through client testimonials.
If you have any questions, you can contact me directly. I hope this helps!
Where can I find the best mortgage rate for refinancing?
I am not sure whether to refinance with debt consolidation, cash out or a home equity loan or line of credit.
Hi there,
I hope yo havent conta ted the gentleman that seems to live overseas, and doesnt really have the concept of the english language down pact yet... Probably not your best bet...
Looks like you basically are in need of $cash$ to obviously pay down some debts... (based on your question)
So to keep it short and simple, out of the three options that you have sited, two of them are the same thing... A cash out refinance is the same as a debt consolidation refinance... A home ewuity line of credit on the other hand is a completely different story...
A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a quick and easy way to get money out of a property... However, they are one of the worst debts for any person to carry...
Large banks will push these programs on customers for one simple reason.. They make double the interet!!!
A HELOC is basically a giant credit card secured against your home.. It shows on your credit as a "Revolving debt" rather then a "real estate debt" like a mortgage...
A "revolving debt" is the smae as a credit card, or charge card at a retail store... They are bad for your credit if you carry high balances... The average HELOC is over $20k, so your credit is sure to decrease by using a HELOC...
This is also why you always see commercials and billboards promoting HELOC's.. They say low to no costs, etc. There is a reason they want to give you these loans for free... They make double the intere3st because a HELOC IS COMPOUNDED INTEREST (same as a credit card)... (not like simple interest on a mortgage or car loan)
So, if you need cash to pay debts, home improvemets, etc. i always suggest to refinance the mortgage and take out what you need...
I would be happy to assist you with any further questions, or even help you with the loan process if need be.. .I work with providential Bancorp, we are a nationwide mortgage lender...
Feel free to call or email me at any time!!

i don't know why you need to refinance?
if your total monthly payments is killing you now- is good to consolidate your debts, if you need extra cash- you can go with cash out or equity line of credit. if you do cash out you will have fixed payment, with equity line of credit you only pay for the money you spend- let's say your equity line is for $30000, but you only used $10000- you only pay for $10000, but rate is higher and change monthly and like i say before i don't know what is the reason for you to refinance.
or use a mortgage broker.
will get you customized quotes from top local lenders in your area based on some basic info about your property and current loan.
Need to Refinance an adjustable rate mortgage with so-so credit?
Hi,
My husband and I bought our home 2 years ago on with an adjustable rate mortgage. The interest rate has now come up and we need to refinance.
The problem is that our credit score is about 600.
Can we get a refinance? Our home is worth about $240K, we have $25K in debt, and we make about $140K per year.
Thanks Bob,
But we really can't afford the extra costs. Our payment went from $1100 per month to $1680 per month.
What would the rate be for a credit score of 600?
Depends on how much you owe.
FHA refinances go up to 95%, with rates lower than 7%
You will still need to qualify with the county limits.
You can still try conventional....and have the lender pay PMI...
I used "Credit Solutions" to settle my debt.They managed to reduce my debt up to 58%.It's legitimate.I came accross this company on NBC News Special Edition.Check it out here:

Is a 5.5% Mortgage Refinance rate good - or should I wait?
Looking to find lowest refinance home mortgage rates?
I’m looking for a better home loan mortgage rate than I currently have with my bank. So I am seriously considering refinancing. Does anyone know where I can currently check for the lowest refinance home mortgage rates?
You can actually get a better mortgage rate – without refinancing. There is a website which allows you to check for free if there is a better rate available with your current lender.
You can avoid the costs and all the paperwork and hassle associated with refinancing. Your bank won’t tell you that there is a better rate available with them, but there usually is.
Check for a lower rate here free:

Is it wise to refinance my home mortgage rate of 6 percent to current 4.8 percent rate?
What are the pros and cons?
4.8% is a phenomenal rate.
Here is what you want to do.
Decide how long you plan on staying in the home.
Take the total cost of the refinance and dived that by how much you will save to find your break even point.
Here is an example.
Refi cost = $4,000.00
Monthly savings with new rate of 4.8% = $128.78 ( I used a $200,000 loan amount @ 6% and then a new loan amount of $204,000 @ 4.8% to get this number )
$4,000 divided by $128.78 = 31.06 months divided by 12 = 2.5 years.
As long as you plan on staying for more than 2.5 years it looks like it makes sense.
Where is the best (only) bank to get the absolute best deal on a refinance mortgage?
Does any such organization exist in this thievery invented by jews? It seems no matter what my credit score is I ALWAYS will get dinged on either a) closing costs b) rate or most often BOTH! Then, when you really play hardball with the banks they typically tell you they'll only do an ARM or something, anything less than a 30 year fixed rate mortgage. What gives? Where is the deal? I couldn't even find such a deal when they said rates were so good 3 years ago!.
I have placed this in the source box. There is a wealth of information there and a great free debt management software program. I bookmarked the site as I return to it often for the advice it offers. I hope this helps you.
what is the best rate someone can have for a refinance mortgage?
having 668 on credit score and being first time home buying. Today, what docs do we need to present to refinace? Thanks, I appeciate your help.
Hi Claudia; if you are siously considering this, and would like to speak to a live mortagge propfessional, you can email me at dantaft@bellsouth.net- you may be able to get a rate in the high 5s to low 6s, but I would really need more information to give you an accurate idea of what you would qualify for. Your question is a bit confusing as well, as you ask about refinancing and home purchase at the same time. Email me for more info and we can clear everything up and go from there.
