Jim and his team made buying our first home out of state such an easy and memorable experience. Life has been amazing here in Oregon and an adventure we'll always... Read More be happy we embarked on. We took in the sights and the communities for the first two months we were here, as we waited that long to start looking for work, but so well worth it to get to know the new surroundings. My wife now works for the county (2min drive/8min walk from home), and I work in sales for a local manufacturer (2.5mi from home). We cannot thank Jim enough for his role in helping us get here, and we know that whenever we tell our story, he'll always play a part as someone who made a dream look so easy and helped make it come to life. It was an incredible journey getting here and was one of the best decisions we ever could have made as we find seem to always find ourselves on vacation here at home. Life is good and cannot complain! Oh, and the rain over the snow isn't such a bad deal, either... Thank you Jim! Read Less

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.
