Four Reasons to Refinance Your Home

Posted on May 3rd, 2009 by brian in Refinancing

1) Increase money on hand each month. Refinancing at a lower rate or longer loan term means you can save or spend more money each month. But you will ultimately pay more in interest over the long-run than you would have. 

2) Decrease Your Mortgage Term Length. By increasing the amount you pay each month, you can pay down your mortgage more quickly and get out of debt faster.

3) Consolidate Loans. If you have two separate mortgages, in some instances you may have them combined into a single mortgage, which typically gives a lower overall rate than they did separately. 

4) Convert From a Variable Rate to a Fixed Rate. Did those variable rates seem too good to be true? Well they probably were. Chances are you are better off over the long run with a fixed rate, ensuring that you know exactly what you will owe and avoiding any sudden payment surprises.
