hi, my name is ethan ewing i am the president of bills. com and welcome back to “dollars and sense. ” today i wanted to talk to you about refinancing cost, refinancing is blazing hot right now, everybody is doing it, your neighbor is doing it, rates are tremendously low. really good time if you are a current home owner really good time to look at refinancing, of course keep in mind that your credit has got to be good in this market.
so a couple of things about refinancing costs, there are costs involved when you are refinancing, so you are going to look at your mortgage rate and then you are going to look at the cost that it is going to take you to refinance, you want to consider that if you do a refinance and you do it more than, say, once every two years, every time you incur a cost you’re basically adding to your principal balance, you will pay that off in interest, but you are adding to your principle balance. so you want to be sure that you look very, very, very closely at what it cost you to do that refinance when you are getting that lower rate. generally, the rule of thumb is the cost should not exceed a couple of year’s worth of payments. uh, a couple of year’s worth of savings on payments sorry about that, so a couple of years of savings on payments. so, if you are taking your payment from $1,500 dollars to $1,200 dollars, that’s $300 dollars a month, you shouldn’t be paying more than $2,500 to $3,500 dollars in fees. so again, just keep in mind again refinancing cost they are out there, make sure you pay attention to them when you consider a refinance. thanks again we’ll see you next time.
