What is equity? Why is it important for refinancing?
Equity is the appraised value of your home minus the amount you still owe on your current loan.
The value of equity depends on your goal for refinancing. The more equity you have‚ the more money you may be able to get from a cash–out refinance. Also‚ more equity could result in a better interest rate‚ which may help you lower your monthly payment. Having enough equity may also help you eliminate private mortgage insurance (PMI)‚ a costly monthly fee included in many mortgages with an original down payment of less than 20%.
How much does it cost to refinance?
It is possible to add the costs associated with getting a new mortgage into the total refinance amount to avoid paying anything out of pocket at closing. But remember‚ refinancing to lower your payment‚ get cash out or consolidate your debt may result in a longer loan term or a higher rate‚ and that might mean paying more in interest overall in the long run. You need to evaluate to see if it makes sense. A refinance expert can assist you with those numbers.
What documents are required to refinance?
The following is a list of documents generally required during the refinance application process:
- Proof of income: Usually‚ you’ll need to show original pay stubs for the last 30 days.
- Copy of homeowners insurance: We’ll need to verify that you have current and sufficient coverage on your home.
- Copies of your W–2 forms: Each loan applicant will need to supply W–2 forms so we can verify past employment and income history.
- Copies of asset information: This includes statements for accounts that hold money for closing costs‚ statements for savings‚ statements for checking and 401(k) accounts‚ and investment records for mutual funds or stocks.
- Coy of your current mortgage statement and mortgage note: This may be required to prove that there is a benefit for you to refinance your home.
