i have re-fi'ed my house 2 times now...both times my payment went down and 1 of those 2 times we got some cash out to do some work to the house.

both times cost me nothing out of pocket...the closing costs got built into the new payments.

But I assume you did pay points... And you did/or are paying those closing costs 'with interest'.

For some, this is totally acceptable. For some, just the fact that a refi from a 15 to a 30 or a 30yr at a lower rate saves enough on the monthly payment 'not to lose the house'. Just keep in mind that there are costs. Banks and mortgage companies are in this to make a profit. It's up to us to double check ourselves to make sure we're willing to give them that much profit. It comes at our expense.

I'd love to be in position to buy a rental home right now.. Mortgage rates will never be much if any lower. Now is the time to buy.

For my primary residence, I need to re-do the math but I think if I could find a 5yr plan @4% I'd be all over it.

It's not all about the monthly payment though.

Jo, could you post some numbers for how much a total mortgage costs over time?  End to end.. Say a $300,000 mortgage for 30yrs on a 5% rate vs a $300,000 mortgage on a 15yr loan at 4.5%.

To me, that total cost is more of an enticement for people to refinance.

 :yeah:


Was really looking at refinanceing mine, but the over all end result would have cost me about 50,000 more.

And that's my problem Blkbearklr...

I've got a little more than 6 years left on a 15yr mortgage that's at 6.25% and I can't take advantage of the current lower rates.

I did not buy points, Steve.
yes the closing costs cost me, but not immediately out of pocket, and my payment went down both times.
i've only been in my house for 6 years, so at my present financial status, refinancing to a 15 year is not an option for me.

When it is paid off they will definitely send you a paid in full statement (required by law) as well as the next steps to get the title transferred.  They will either do it for you (most likely for a fee) or provide a statement that you can take to the county yourself.

Congrats on paying off some debt!

In the news, the ADP Employment report came in worse than expected.  Also this morning, Revised Productivity for the 2nd quarter finished near expectations and showed the largest gain in nearly six years.  This emphasizes that businesses are maximizing output from their current staff, and the efficiency gains help to curb inflation - which is good for Bonds.  

Today's rates are holding steady.  Currently 15 year fixed rate loans are still at the 4.375% mark and 30 year conventional fixed rate loans are at 4.875%.  Right now rates are doing well, however if the market starts to fluctuate things may change.  I will keep you guys posted.

Didn't know you got into the biz!  Congrats.  I have worked in secondary for 8 years now (setting pricing, hedging interest rate risk, and selling loans) and follow the market quite closely.  Rates are better than they have been in a couple months and I wouldn't get too greedy.  30yr fixed rates are back to 4.875% or so at par and I don't expect them to go much lower than that.  Credit guidelines also continue to be tightened making it harder to qualify.  Good news is that the LTV on Fannie owned mortgages is being moved up to 125 for DU refi plus which should help those who haven't been able to qualify due to declining home prices.  Most companies should have the 125% LTV available very soon if not already.  The larger banks (Wells Fargo and Bank of America) will have them first.  If you ever have any questions shoot me a PM and I will answer them.

A little more than 6 years for me.. And I won't be near retirement yet. So far, my plan is working. Lord willing, I'll turn that Mortgage payment into extended college tuition for my boys for a couple years, (other than what I've saved already), then it'll be gravy after that.

Point is..  Anyone putting off refinancing needs to do the math and Git'R Done! There's a bunch of money to be saved by consumers.

Could not have said it any better myself.  I am in the same situation, only thing I am doing now is buying new trucks. Already bought the 2008 F250 diesel, now fully paid for. Going to wait until around December by a brand new ranger, get it paid for then beginning of 2011 but a new F150. And then have that paid for by Aug 2012. And the wife retires and we settle down. Will probably sell this house though and move to a state that is more retiree friendly. Starting to like the looks Wyoming more and more every day with the research I have been doing....
