Wanting to pay less in interest on your mortgage and lower your monthly payments?
A mortgage refinance replaces your existing loan with a new one, potentially reducing your monthly payments, lowering your interest rate, or giving you access to your home’s equity for renovations, debt consolidation, or investments.
Unlock the Benefits of Refinancing with The Lazzaro Lending Group
If you’re considering refinancing, you may be looking to reduce monthly payments, pay less in interest, or even use your home’s equity for other financial goals. Refinancing with The Lazzaro Lending Group – Powered by Reasy Financial – can open up new opportunities. We specialize in helping clients like you understand and navigate refinancing, with personalized solutions designed to maximize your savings, simplify your payments, or fund your next big project.
Why Consider a Mortgage Refinance?
Refinancing means replacing your current mortgage with a new one, often with better terms. Here’s how it can work for you:
Lower Your Monthly Payments
Refinancing to a lower interest rate can reduce your monthly payments, freeing up funds for other priorities. With competitive rates from The Lazzaro Lending Group, refinancing may help you save significantly over the life of your loan.
Consolidate High-Interest Debt
Are you managing high-interest credit cards or personal loans? Refinancing allows you to combine these debts into your mortgage at a lower interest rate, reducing your total monthly outlay and simplifying your finances.
Access Cash with a Cash-Out Refinance
If your home’s value has increased, a cash-out refinance lets you tap into your equity. This can be a smart way to fund home renovations, investments, or other expenses. For many clients, using home equity can be a cost-effective alternative to higher-interest financing.
Pay Off Your Mortgage Faster
Looking to shorten your loan term? Refinancing to a shorter term can help you build equity faster and reduce overall interest paid. This is a great option if you’re comfortable with a slightly higher monthly payment but want to pay off your mortgage sooner.
Understanding Closing Costs of a Refinance
When you refinance, there are certain costs involved, similar to those from when you first got your mortgage. Typically, closing costs range from 2% to 5% of the loan amount but can vary depending on your location, loan type, and financial profile. Here’s a simple breakdown of what these costs may include:
- Origination Fees: This covers the lender’s cost of processing your loan.
- Appraisal Fees: Some loans may require a professional appraisal to determine your home’s current value.
- Title Fees: These fees are for verifying and transferring ownership of the property.
- Credit Report Fees: A small fee to check your credit history as part of the application process.
- Prepaid Interest: This includes any interest charges from your closing date to the start of your first full mortgage payment, as well as insurance adjustments.
- Escrow Account for Taxes and Insurance: If you prefer to have your property taxes and homeowners insurance included in your monthly mortgage payment, the lender may set up an escrow account. This means you’ll pay a bit extra at closing to start the account, ensuring these future bills are covered.
Please Note: The exact closing costs you’ll see can vary based on your unique situation. At The Lazzaro Lending Group, we’ll go over these costs with you upfront, so you know exactly what to expect and can make informed choices, like whether to include taxes and insurance in your monthly payments.
