There have been a good number of inquiries as to whether it is time to refinance home loans. Of course, the answer definitely would depend on the whole scenario for each borrower. Our company policy is very different from other mortgage companies. We make sure we get all income/asset/credit information from the borrowers and then make sure that the appraisal value is acceptable to the program selected. Then we formally approve the loan and issue a commitment to the borrowers with a guaranteed rate lock and a guaranteed closing fees. All these processes are done in a matter of minutes, as long as all income information and appraisal value are verified.

With this process, I am able to make sure that the clients fully understand how the process of the loan works. We make sure that you are happy with the whole transaction and advise you with options that will benefit you the most. I wish I could say yes to everyone who wants to refinance their loans. My policy might be conservative, but it is guaranteed that if we take your loan, you will close on schedule and on the rate and terms that we first disclose to you. The only thing I cannot control in a transaction is the title insurance. There are instances when a property has been recorded incorrectly with the county and it could take months to resolve that problem. We would normally know about these things in 3-5 days.

Here are some of the reasons for refinancing:

*If you have an adjustable rate loan where the payments are due to increase, it would be wise to do it now while the rates are low and you can get a fixed rate option loan where you still pay the same amount.

*If you are interested in cashing out money to pay off credit card debts and consolidate your loan. Even if you have those 0% credit card offers, remember you still owe that amount of money and it has to be repaid. Consolidate your debts into one payment and you will be surprised at the savings, not to mention the tax benefits. Remember, credit card interest is always non tax deductible while mortgage interest is tax deductible. Wouldn
