Many homeowners had a negative experience purchasing their homes and avoid the thought of mortgage refinancing all together.

Mortgage Refinancing 101: Is Refinancing Right for You?

There are a number of reasons for mortgage refinancing, regardless of the interest rate you qualify for. Even if you cannot qualify for a lower interest rate, mortgage refinancing still makes sense if you need a lower payment amount or want to borrow against your home equity. Mortgage interest rates have been rising in recent years; however, they are still at historically low levels. If your financial situation has changed since purchasing your home, you may have a better paying job, have married, divorced, or saved some money; because your financial picture is different now you may qualify for a better mortgage interest rate.

Even if you cannot qualify for a lower interest rate you can still lower your payment amount by extending the term length of your loan. Term length is the amount of time you have to repay the loan; the term length you choose and the interest rate you receive determines your monthly payment amount. You may also consider refinancing to consolidate you debts and rebuild your credit. Debt consolidation with your mortgage has the added advantage of deducting the interest you pay from your Federal Income tax.
