HOW IT WORKS
How Does Refinancing Work?
Refinancing involves replacing your current mortgage with a new one that typically comes with better terms. Whether you're seeking a lower interest rate, shorter loan term, or want to access equity, refinancing can offer significant benefits.
This loan can be used alongside conventional, FHA, VA, or RD loans but cannot be combined with other assistance programs from the same provider.

RATE FACTORS
Factors That Affect Your Refinancing Rate
Several factors influence the interest rate you'll qualify for when refinancing. Understanding these can help you time your decision and prepare your application.
Credit Score
Higher credit scores generally secure lower interest rates. We can help you understand where you stand and what steps might improve your rate.
Loan-to-Value Ratio (LTV)
The more equity you have in your home, the better the terms and rates you'll likely qualify for.
Loan Term
Shorter terms, like 15-year loans, often come with lower rates than 30-year terms — but higher monthly payments.
Market Conditions
Federal Reserve policies, inflation, and other economic factors affect overall mortgage rates.
Prime Rate
Set by major financial institutions, the prime rate influences your interest rate for various types of loans, including mortgages.
