Interest rates have dropped since you closed on your existing mortgage.
You want to shorten or extend your loan term.
You want to lower your monthly principal and interest payment.
You want to switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate loan.
You want cash for home improvements or debt consolidation (cash-out refinance).
You'll need the estimated loan amount, the annual interest rate, the loan term (e.g., 15 years, 30 years), and the down payment amount. Optionally, you can include estimated property taxes and homeowner’s insurance.
The loan term is the length of time you have to repay the mortgage, typically expressed in years (e.g., 15 years, 30 years).
Several factors can cause differences, including:
Changes in interest rates.
