Would anyone be able to explain the value of refinancing a home loan?
Posted on February 24th, 2010 3 commentsJoey T asked:
I’ve recently purchased my parents home in order to free up income for them so they can live a better lifestyle and have more “throw” away income later in their life.My situation is this: I refi’d their home instead of getting a traditional mortgage with a rate of 6.35ish in Sept. I am set up on a 20yr bi-weekly payment which should pay off in 17 years without putting any additional monies onto each payment (thank you to one of my friends for giving me that information about the bi-weekly payments. Saving 3 years right off the bat was very awesome…).
With the rates going so low lately should I consider refinancing in order to lower payments and/or timeframe of the loan?
