![]() Mortgage Refinance - Time To Lock In At A New Rate? Have the great new rates got you thinking about doing a home mortgage refinance loan? If so, you're certainly not alone, but there are some tips to keep in mind along the way. Let's cover a few of those. If you don't currently have a fixed rate mortgage then you'll definitely want to get one as those interest rates can become killer. However, you may still want to consider a mortgage refinance loan even if you currently have a fixed rate loan. Sometimes you can get a fixed rate loan so much lower than your current one that you can refinance at 15 years instead of 30 and still not pay any more than you're currently making in monthly payments! Also, keep in mind that the lowest
interest isn't always the best deal on a
mortgage refinance.
The "catch" is that some companies will give you a very low interest
rate but will charge several points up front. A point is 1
percent of the loan your are borrowing. For example, if you
were borrowing $300,000 and were being charged three points, you'd
be paying $9,000 to borrow the money in addition to other fees and
closing costs.
