What will my mortgage payment be if I refinance to $170,000 with $20,000 cash-out to 6.25% and 1% drop in the rate; property value is $400,000?
Answer:What your mortgage payment will be after a refinance will depend on the new loan terms. A refinance is replacing an existing mortgage with another one. A refinance with cash-out means you will get cash from the transaction. Usually, a cash-out refinance is available at more restrictive terms than non cash out refinance transaction.
So you want to refinance to 1% lower rate and the term remains the same - 20 years.
Long time ago, refinances were recommended when rates would drop by 2%. Right now, refinancing is worth it as mortgage rates are at a historical low and it might be possible to refinance to 1% lower rate.
If you are currently having a balance of $150,000 at 7.25% and 38% Loan To Value ratio, your principal and interest mortgage payment is $1,185.56. If you refinance to 6.25% with $20,000 cash out the LTV will be 43% and your principal and interest mortgage payment will be $1,242.58.
Final piece of advice: Monitor your credit report and score regularly, to ensure there are no inaccuracies or unauthorized activity. Your credit report and score are the two major methods that creditors and lenders use to make a credit decision about you. Higher scores usually mean lower interest rates, which will save you money.
