Talk to a loan officer at a bank or a mortgage broker. A refinance is exactly like an initial mortgage purchase. The paperwork is identical, the fees are identical, everything. Shop around to find the best rates in your local area. Warning: DO NOT TRUST ONLINE BROKERS. They will be willing to offer you anything and then some to sign on with them. However, if they are located in a different state, there will be an assortment of fees that they will probably not tell you about until you agree to refinance using them. You may get a 1/ 4 of a point knocked off your interest rate only to pay 2 - 3 points in fees up front for dealing with out of state providers and other such silly nonsense. As far as I'm concerned, they're virtually all con-artists looking to take you for whatever they can. Of course, I'm biased ;-) |
