home mortgage refinancing

About a decade ago, home mortgage refinancing was the "redheaded stepchild" of the loan community. It was not done very often, and even when it was done, the rates were not really that much better than what the homeowner had gotten originally.

But all of that has changed.

Home mortgage refinancing is the name of the game these days, with owners taking advantage of the Fed's low, low interest rates in order to pull cash out of their mortgage, get into a better home, shorten the length of their mortgage term, or just lower their monthly mortgage payments in order to free up monthly cash flow.

If you are looking to do a home mortgage refinance, do some quick math: if the interest rates have dropped a full two points lower than what your current rate is, it is time to refinance. Also, if you are in an ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage) it is usually recommended that you move into a fixed-rate mortgage so that your rate doesn't go up when the ARM comes to an end in three or five years.
