Refinancing FAQs
Consider refinancing your mortgage if your payments are too high, your interest rate is higher than the market rate, if you wish to consolidate payments, or if you want to own your home sooner.
Request a cash-out refinance. You can use your home equity to pay off debts or student loans, improve your home value with renovations, invest in another property, or anything else you choose.
Get a rate quote and see what your monthly payment would be with a lower rate along with the closing costs. The Ultimate Lending Team will provide you with all the information you need to make a decision whether or not a refinance is right for you.
Equity naturally increases when you pay off debt balance or as a home appreciates. You can also help it increase by performing home maintenance or renovation projects.
Yes! If you wish to remove your private mortgage insurance, you generally will need at least 20% home equity. However, you can still refinance even though you’ve built up less equity and depending on the appraisal, can remove PMI. Ultimate Lending Team will help establish your best course of action to remove PMI.
Not always. Much of the time, it depends on the loan program and the form of refinancing (rate and term vs. cash out). Ultimate Lending Team will be able to explore the valuation options further during the refinancing process.
At Ultimate Lending Team, we are proud to deliver closings that are faster than the industry average, typically 2 to 3 weeks.
New guidance and technology has reduced the documentation needed for a home loan. Every homeowner’s situation is different. So once we have your loan application, we can let you know what is needed to close. Be sure you have pay stubs, bank account statements, tax returns, and proof of outstanding debts ready.
There is no cap to how many times you refinance, but many lenders require a certain period of time between assessments. This is normally the case with cash out refinancing as well.
Similar to a purchase loan, refinancing involves closing costs, but these costs differ based on the case. In certain cases, refinancing may have little to no cost, depending on how we structure your loan. Ultimate Lending Team can coach you on options and a break-even point so that you can figure out how long you need to prepare to stay in your home for refinancing to be financially beneficial.
