Refinance
and reap rewards!
Mortgage rates have inched up in the past few weeks, but for many
borrowers it's not too late to refinance.
Protect
yourself from mortgage scams and screw-ups
With the refi boom in high-gear, many lenders
are backed up. Here's how to insure a smooth ride for your refinancing
deal.
Original
lender may be the best source
Before you go shopping for a new lender to refinance,
check with your lender. It may be quicker and cost less in fees.
New
lender hassles
Refinancing to a better rate sometimes means a new lender and
new rules. Tips for avoiding the problems that can crop up.
"Roll-in"
mortgages can save you money up front
You want to take advantage of the better rates, but are in
a cash crunch -- how about rolling the closing costs into the new
mortgage?
Refinance
your other loans, too
Refis are good for more than mortgages. Sometimes, you can save
by redoing your car loan, equity loan or personal loan.
