A mortgage refinance essentially pays off your existing home loan with a new one.
Note that this means your credit score will likely take a small hit due to the hard inquiry.
And it also means if you don’t meet the lender’s requirements, you can be denied for a refi loan.
Refinancing to a 30-year loan may offer the flexibility to make smaller monthly payments that fit your budget better.
Much like a traditional home loan taken out to purchase a property, refinancing a mortgage involves closing costs that run about 2% to 6% of the loan amount.
This is the most popular refi option that allows you to lower your interest rate and/or shorten your loan term.
Available to existing FHA, VA and USDA loan borrowers, these refi options involve less documentation and a more straightforward application and approval process.
