Many homeowners are considering a mortgage refinance due to low interest rates and new Government housing stimulus programs. Many people will be able to save a lot of money, or their home from being lost, by using the Obama stimulus plan and refinancing a mortgage. Here are some things people should know about refinancing a mortgage with Obamas stimulus program.
Since so many homeowners are struggling to make their monthly home loan payments, foreclosures and mortgage defaults are at all time highs. In addition to that, the housing market is in such bad shape that many homes have actually lost value. This is leaving millions of people with an upside down mortgage and other financial hardships to apply for a mortgage refinancing.
Also, new Government programs are in affect that will stimulate the housing market, stop foreclosures, and save homeowners money. This stimulus plan is actually designed to help struggling homeowners. This program works by giving cash incentives to mortgage lenders and banks who help homeowners and follow Obamas stimulus plan guidelines. This money makes the lenders and banks much more likely to approve struggling homeowners for a mortgage refinance due to less financial risk on their part. This stimulus plan is also being used to keep mortgage interest rates low for all homeowners. For most of 2009, and so far in 2010, mortgage interest rates have been near all time lows. These low interest rates provide many benefits and huge potential savings for millions of people.
Getting approved for a mortgage refinancing is easier than ever before. Regardless of your financial or mortgage situation, help refinance a home loan is available. Homeowners should take action now and use the low interest rates and Obamas stimulus plan to their advantage.

Help answer the question about refinancing
Where do I find current information about mortgage modification, refinancing, and new mortgage rules?There is a lot of talk about mortgage modifications, refinancing and new mortgage rules, but most info is so basic that everyone just keeps repeating the stuff already known. Can anyone suggest a place with more advanced and very specific articles stating the facts with references back to the primary sources?
You need to contact a couple different mortgage companies. You need to see what the current rate is and what the closing cost are. You can rolling the closing cost in the loan, so you pay nothing out of pocket. That is if you house appraises to cover everything. Appraisal on houses have got bad, so check what houses are selling for around you. You need to figure out or guess how long you will stay in the house. You need to see what you save a month on the new mortgage and divide it by the closing cost. That will tell you how long you need to stay in the house to break even.
example.
Old payment $1200
New payment $1025
Save $175 monthly
Rolled in closing cost of $4000
4000/175 = 22.86 month to break even.

Just remember a mortgage is an agreement which a bank lends you to buy a home.The terms and rate are what is prevailing at the time you take the mortgage.
Refinancing your loan should have minimal impact on your credit score.
If you don't have a second mortgage or equity line of credit you may qualify for a streamline refinance that will lower the costs and expedite the process for you.

Dear Leilani,
Without greater knowledge of your full loan terms and the likelihood of your finding a "good" investment, I would recommend staying in your present position. Why?
(1) Your current payments reflect a far greater percentage of principle than interest.(2) Your financing costs will likely exceed any savings from a nominal discount on your interest rate for your remaining $80,000. (3) The real estate market is still at a critical stage for at least the next six months and markets that have not previously sufferred may suddenly tank on general economic grounds. (4) This is not the best time to take risks. (5) Enjoy your good fortune of being able to sleep well at night. (6) Unless the home you wish to purchase is in a distinct real estate market many miles from your rental property, you will be putting all your eggs in a single basket. Is this what you want to risk?
Residential real estate is no longer a favorable investment strategy. Few people are rushing to buy or capable of getting loans. Your investment will bring a few extra dollars of income, slow appreciation and new best friends in the form of tenants who will call you 24-7 every time the toilet backs-up, some water leaks or light bulb flickers. You may not get a kick out of managing your property and take it personally when you see it being hard used or abused. Hard to get out of your situation once you take the plunge.
Alternative- Buy common date U.S. gold coins or bullion. Stash in a safety deposit box. When Congress gets through spending 835 Billion Dollars we will see gold at @$2,500 oz. On the other hand, McDonalds will have new famous $10 value meals.
Good luck.
This is usually a bad move – the cash out part. What happens is you lose your equity. PLus, you'll likely incur costs which can't be rolled into the new loan. Your best bet is to pay cash for the repairs.
yes. you can sell it in a month if you want. that language is there so that you agree not to turn place into investment property. it does not prohibit you from selling in less than a year
refi is expensive. usually the cost requires 2-3 years to break even.
Your monthly payment will be less.
