If you own a home, you have probably received junk mail claiming to be able to save you $100 $500 or even $1,000 a month on your mortgage payments by refinancing your home mortgage. Many of these letters are practically a scam. What they don't tell you in the letter is that they will be charging you 2% to 6% of your mortgage value in "closing cost" which will be added to your debt to the bank. They also don't explain to you that often times to get the advertised interest rate, you need to buy "points" which have an upfront cost that is once again added to your mortgage debt. Sometimes it does make sense to refinance in order to lock in lower interest and to determine that, you need to do a break-even analysis on your new interest rate.

Ok so I have a VA loan and they are giving me the option to lower my interest from 4% to 3%. I have 24yrs and 7 months to my off my house and they gave me 2 options. Lower the payment to $1094 from $1172 that I'm currently paying and still have 24yrs and 7months or drop it to $992 and extend it to 30yrs. I want to know your opinion which is the better option?

@@williammora88 I am not a realtor so here is my best guess. Refinance at 30 years making sure that you can make principal payoffs throughout the loan. Go for 30 years then pay it off as early as you can. That way if you have any kind of financial stress you can just pay the regular mortgage payment until your situation improves

In short.... Look into paying more into your principal instead of refinancing and it will probably be way better than refinancing. For me, when I looked into refinancing it was going to take a decade before refinancing was going to save me any money. Understand that extra money paid in principal isn't lost... Just tied up in the value of your home. What you pay for in interest and in refinance costs is lost forever.

You really missed the other incentive to refinance for about 90% of all homeowners out there. Getting rid of PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance), which can vary from $150 to $300 per month, or more, depending on the original loan amount and down payment. Rule of thumb has ALWAYS been, that you may want to do the math if you can beat your current mortgage rate by AT LEAST 1%, and of course if you can shave time off it by going 15 or 20 years, by all means. There's ALOT of variables when looking at doing a refinance, and calling it a 'SCAM' ?? One last point, when doing a refinance, you need point out that the homeowner many times will receive their previous lenders escrow funds back, which can offset the closing costs on the new loan.

Here’s an Idea, why not a little bit extra every month to not only pay off principal but also get rid of pmi? Paying an extra 100 dollars a month can literally save you on interest as well as years down the road instead of doing a REFI. A REFI would make sense if your close to paying off your house by paying the same amount after you close with that new rate.

Why would your property tax assessment change after refinancing? It has never happened to me in California or any other states I lived in. The tax assessment is increased by a nominal percentage, like 2%, every year independent of your loan. The tax assessment increases big time to the new sold price only when the property is sold.

@@dhui777 I think he’s referring to the fact that when your house has appreciated in value since you’ve been living there (which basically means you’re building equity in the house simply because the value of the house has increased beyond what you paid for it so that extra is equity for you. the refi will be based on the current “new” fair market value. That’s why some people cash out when they refinance if their property has appreciated significantly so the borrower qualifies for a loan in excess of what they had remaining owed on their initial mortgage. If you bought your house for half $1 million but now it’s worth $1 million, theoretically you could get a loan for $800,000.(80 percent of the current house value). This $800,000 would illuminate the first mortgage and leave you with a cash out amount of whatever is left, probably a few hundred thousand dollars which you can use for anything. That’s where people get in trouble they use it for anything. If you’re going to do a cash out refi you need a smart plan for how you will use the money , Otherwise you’d be surprised how a new car or a vacation home purchase seems like a great thing to do with the cash. Remember you are still paying that extra cash back, it’s wrapped into your new loan. So you basically just got lump sum upfront that you’re paying off at the low interest rate when you refinanced. If done right, it can be a wise and powerful tool. If done wrong, you could end up like Hunter Biden leaving crack pipes in rental cars etc……

I think your message here is a bit misleading. The key is just the equivalent interest rate after the closing cost is included in the new loan amount when refinancing. If this equivalent interest rate is lower than the interest rate of your current mortgage, then you should always refinance even though it appears that you have restarted the 30-year cycle. If you pay the same amount of money (i.e. more than you need) to the bank as before after refinancing, you will alway finish paying the entire mortgage earlier than before if the equivalent interest rate you refinanced with is lower than that of your previous mortgage. Refinancing just gives you more flexibility to pay less every month if you choose to. The total amount of interest you pay only depends on the interest rate and how much you still owe the bank after each payment. Another point resulting from this is that there is no point of refinancing with a 20-year mortgage as opposed to a 30-year mortgage if the interest rates are the same in both. Refinancing with a 20-year mortgage of the same interest rate just forces yourself to pay a larger amount of money every month in order to finish the mortgage in 20 years instead of 30 years. It’s kind of silly to do so. Refinance with a shorter term only if the equivalent interest rate is lower than what you have now.

Depending on your loan amount and you can easily not pay points and have the lender pay for non recurring closing costs. All loans are simple interest loans. Meaning that you can pay whatever you want above the minimum payment. The extra money goes to principal reduction. The easiest thing to do is get a lower rate (With no costs) then use a lian calculator to figure out a payment with whatever term was left on your old loan. Lowering your interest rate without closing costs is NEVER a bad thing to do.

1st position HELOC is a good way to save on the overall interest you would pay, and it could cut your payment term by several years. Most banks will not offer this to you…I wonder why not? Because, they don’t want you to save money on your interest. They want you to pay as much as possible. HELCO interest paid is calculated on a “simple interest” basis. Do the research.

Mortgages are also calculated on simple interest. Below is a question someone asked the HELOC guru Denzel Rodriguez and his response: Q: Denzel-if my mortgage is 2.37% would you advise to leave that and use a 2nd place HELOC to pay in chunks or convert it to a 1st position HELOC? A: I would have run the numbers fully to determine what makes the most sense in this current environment it might make more sense to leave the mortgage alone and figure out ways to increase your income rather than pay off debt. Hyperinflation is here and interest rates are really high and will likely continue to rise. Does it make sense to pay off 2.37% when inflation is at 10%+? Where can I get a better use of my monev?

Malcolm, I have a mortgage loan for 15 years now, but interest on my investment properties are higher than 7% on three of them. I want to refi to get a lower interest and maybe do a cash out, but right now, loan officer said that my DTI is high.
@MJ-cf9nl
@MJ-cf9nl 3 жыл бұрын
Why doing a cash out? why don't you sell one of those properties and payoff some of the other ones faster..... Yes your DTI has to be lower than 28% to be in a good shape to borrow money, once you hit 33% or higher then nobody would trust you for another loan. Your mission in life should be to get out of debt by paying your principle as soon as possible, you seem to be doing the opposite..

This video should get MORE VIEWS. Here's a SIMPLE WAY to run the RIGHT NUMBERS to NOT GET SCAMED : Calculate the OUTSTANDING INTEREST in your current mortgage, and compare it to the NEW TOTAL INTEREST of the refinancing, and the DIFFERENCE is what you will SAVE BEFORE FEES. Now deduct the refinancing FEES from the interest saved, and that is your REAL SAVING.

I don’t agree with your video. You can refinance for shorter terms than your current mortgage, pay the same monthly payment you normal do and pay off the loan sooner. “You could just pay extra and not refinance.” Sure but you’ll pay more in total payments compared to refinancing.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't the mail point of refinancing is the lower your mortgage and have the discipline to continue to pay what you were paying to pay the mortgage even faster?

Megan... not sure if this will help... hope so... I was a loan officer 2000 to 2008... recently... like 4 months ago I went to my bank of which I’ve had a 20+ yr relationship with... asking about lending opportunities for my home. They were NOT taking HELOC applications... and... most likely no other reputable banks were the same. (Why? And, what do they know?) Moreover.... back in 2008... many people had an already established HELOC say... 100K... yet not used... the the customer gets a letter in the mail stating their HELOC with 100k available is now 20k available (this happened to my buddy!) So... if you currently have a HELOC with available balance... y’all may want to inquire if that an change effectively without notice to you by that bank... 2021... will be seriously rocky regardless of vaccine ending the pandemic, regardless of new President & administration... a wave of evictions & foreclosures are coming (...putting many financial banks institutions Wall Street at risk...) Very unfortunate! Again... hope some of this helps! Smiles Rick

You should always do no-cost refinance if the interest rate is lower than your current rate (4.125). If you just make the same payment as before (I.e. more than needed after refinancing), you will finish the entire mortgage earlier than before.

Totally false information. I am lender and we do not make money by making you pay points. We make a commission based on loan amount. If borrower wants to spend points to buy down the rate that is totally his call. Yes, some lenders are scammers because they just want to sell a loan to make money. Buy if you work with the right lender, he should be able to give you advice if it makes sense to refinance or not. There is not such thing as a scam refinance. There is a bad time and a good time to refinance. Buyer needs to be educated or working with a loan officer he trusts
