Should I refinace or pay extra each year?

Posted on: 22nd Sep, 2009 10:22 am
Iam on my 5 yr of 30yr note 79,500.I I still owe 74,000 Iam in the process of refinaceing my home I locked in a rates at 5.3 on a 15yr note. There going to add on the closing cost. Which would be better?refinace to a 15yr note or just pay an Extra 4,000 (tax return)a year.where where will that put me?
It appraised for 130,000,so I do have equity in it bur Iam not pulling any thing out. What should I do?
I think you can do a lot better than 5.3% on a 15 yr fixed. Shop around for a better rate before you make a final decision.

One way to figure out what is the best option woudl be calcualte your total payment after yoru interest is locaked how much you would pay in interest after 15 years along with closign cost if you do not make any extra payments

Then try caluclting your total cost at the end of loan if you keep makign $4k extra payment every year

That woudl tell you what is your best option

if you chose to refinance your current mortgage loan, consider these items

1) how much are you saving from the current loan to the one being proposed?
2) what is the cost of the loan?
3) how long will it take you to recoup the cost?
4)if you stay on your mortgage and keep paying 4k towrds the mortgage how long will it take you to pay the mortgage off?


fyi: the rate being proposed to you seem very high for a 15 yr term, shop around to see if you can get a better mortgage rate.

You need to refinance it. There is no point in paying 4K extra.

One omre thing, How long are you planing to stay in this house?
