If you own a home and have an interest rate in the 5% range, it could be worth while to check with a local mortgage originator to see if refinancing makes sense for your personal scenario.
Here are some things to consider:
- Most mortgages are full doc now. You need to be able to show your income.
- Conventional mortgages may allow expanded loan-to-values with the HARP program (home affordable refinance).
- If your original conventional mortgage has an 80% loan to value and you're upside down now, you may qualify for programs without private mortgage insurance at today's low rates.
- FHA and VA streamline refinances are available without appraisals.
- Minimum credit score of 620 with Mortgage Master Service Corporation.
- Refinances available for owner occupied, investment and vacation homes.
- Refinances can be used to reduce your interest rate, reduce your mortgage term, consolidate mortgages or pay off debts.
