Refinance
A Refinance will remind you of what you went through in obtaining the original mortgage. That's because, in reality, a mortgage refinance is simply taking out a new mortgage. You will encounter many of the same procedures-and the same types of costs-the second time around.
Refinancing can be a good idea for homeowners who:
• Want to get out of a high interest rate loan to take advantage of lower rates. This is a good idea only if they intend to stay in the house long enough to make the additional fees worthwhile.
• Have an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) and want a fixed-rate loan to have the certainty of knowing exactly what the mortgage payment will be for the life of the loan.
• Want to convert to an ARM with a lower interest rate or more protective features (such as a better rate and payment caps) than the ARM they currently have.
• Want to build up equity more quickly by converting to a loan with a shorter term.
• Want to draw on the equity built up in their house to get cash for a major purchase or for their children's education.
Financial contracts are very confusing. Before signing yourself to a major long term commitment; have an attorney, familiar with financing and taxes, examine and explain the details (where the Devil is).
A good tax finance attorney can save you many times his fee over the years, not to mention possible legal problems.
Whether buying or selling a vehicle; first check KBB (Kelley Blue Book), Black Book, Red Book, or the NADA Used Vehicle Guide.
