How to refinance your home

Mortgage refinancing can be a smart move for many homeowners. Is it right for you?

Ask yourself these home refinance questions:

  1. What are my goals for refinancing? Lower monthly payments? Pay off the mortgage sooner? Goals will help determine what terms and interest rate to look for.

  2. What’s the value of my home?

  3. What is my equity?

  4. Do I have other liens against my home?

  5. How long do I plan to stay in my home?

  6. What are the current interest rates?

  7. What fees are involved in refinancing?
