Mortgage Refinancing
Fellow Lemonaders,
A few months back, Mrs. Lemonade and I refinanced our house...pretty pain-free too! We were able to get a great rate through our lender Wells Fargo.
Today, I was forwarded an article from MSN on ways to get a cheaper mortgage, which was very interesting.
In a nutshell:
1. Know the trends - Mortgages go up and down. With things the way they are (stimulus, etc) trend may be for rates to go up.
2. Pull the trigger - If the rate you are offering is at least 1 point less than what you have now...do it. Rates are at historic lows.
3. Understand the criteria - Income verification, FICO score of at least 720, down payment of at least 3.5% and manageable levels of debt.
