Mortgage Loan & Credit Tips: Should You Refinance Your Adjustable Rate Mortgage?
(presented by www.refinance-refinance.net - mortgage lenders)

Should your refinance your adjustable rate mortgage now or wait until interest rates drop again?
That is a question is get a lot, and its a question that clearly deserves some thought because the answers really depends on your situation. When you apply for a refinance or home equity quote consider these questions:

Does your present loan’s interest rate adjustment increasing your monthly payments? Can you afford a higher payment? Will the new interest rate be 1 to 3 % higher than the market interest rates that would be available for you to refinance into? Are the interest rate offered fixed rate loans or other ARMs? If the current mortgage does cap your monthly payments, how long will it take for those payments to pay off your loan ? Will locking a refinance loan save you money?

It is very important to know how your pre-payment penalty is if you have one for early pay-off on your existing loan. If you do have a pre-pay penalty figure out how many months will it take to get a return on investment for the new mortgage loan. The bottom line is that you need to save money, and gain some security from a fixed interest rate mortgage.

If you have a mortgage that is adjusting regularly, then it makes sense to research mortgage refinance options. If you have credit card debt and have equity in your home, it may save you thousands of dollars a year to roll that revolving debt into your refinance loan. If you have a second mortgage with an adjustable rate, like a line of credit, don’t rule out refinancing that for a fixed rate either. Refinancing can save you money if you evaluate the market, and consider your situation before you apply.
