Using a refinance as a part of your strategic financial plan

When you refinance, you’re not just swapping one loan for another; you’re optimizing the terms based on your current financial situation and future goals. With our transparent processes, you can be assured of no hidden surprises. Each step, from application to closing, is designed to keep you informed and empowered.

Several homeowners turn to NMB for refinancing to tap into their home’s accumulated equity, offering a financial cushion for other endeavors. Others seek to capitalize on favorable market rates, translating into significant long-term savings. And for some, it’s about adjusting the loan’s lifespan, either shortening it to build equity faster or extending it for smaller monthly payments.

  • When is the right time to refinance my mortgage with NMB?

    Deciding when to refinance requires a holistic review of several factors. Pay attention to market trends, including prevailing interest rates, and evaluate your personal financial health, especially your credit score. Using a mortgage refinance calculator can help you determine your break-even point after accounting for refinancing costs. Furthermore, it’s essential to understand the nuances between refinancing and other mortgage options like loan modifications and second mortgages.

  • How does refinancing compare to a loan modification?

    The core distinction is that refinancing provides you with a brand new mortgage, while a loan modification adjusts the terms of your existing one, often incorporating missed payments to help you retain your home. Note that modifications are generally considered when refinancing isn’t an option and can adversely affect your credit score.

  • Is taking a second mortgage similar to refinancing?

    Not quite. When you refinance, your new mortgage replaces the current one. In contrast, a second mortgage means you’ll have two separate mortgages and payments. Although second mortgages, like home equity loans or HELOCs, may have lower closing costs, they typically come with higher interest rates than a refinance. It’s essential to assess which option aligns best with your financial goals.

  • Can I lower my monthly payments without opting for refinancing?

    Yes, through a process known as mortgage recasting. By making a sizable lump-sum payment towards your principal, your lender can reamortize the balance, potentially lowering your monthly payments.

  • How soon post-closing can I consider refinancing with NMB?

    The timeline largely depends on the loan type and the investor backing your mortgage. It can range anywhere from a mere 30 days to an extended period of up to 6 months or even a year. The frequency with which you can refinance is influenced by factors like equity accumulation and the prevailing mortgage balance.

  • Will the refinancing process impact my credit score?

    Yes, but it’s typically a temporary effect. When refinancing, lenders initiate a hard inquiry, reviewing your credit history, which might cause a slight dip in your score. However, with consistent financial responsibility post-refinancing, like timely debt repayments and avoiding excessive new credit, your score can bounce back within months.
