If you apply with a lender and then decide to apply with a different lender, you’ll probably lose whatever money you’ve paid to the first lender. In addition, you have to be careful because some lenders will charge you an additional penalty for canceling the loan application.
However, if the lender changes the deal on you, you may have the right to sue the lender and recover the fees you paid to the lender and perhaps other damages as well.
While you should have thoroughly investigated rates, fees and points by the time you get to the closing table, sometimes deals look different on the day of closing.
Q: I’m reading your article on refinancing. At the bottom of one column you say, “Once you’ve signed the application, you’ve sealed the deal.” Does that mean you still have to go through with the loan after you’ve done some research and found fees are too high? What if it is slightly different when it gets to the table?
A: I would hope that you would do your shopping around before you sign a loan application, because you’ll never know you got the best deal unless you’ve talked to other lenders about the loans, interest rates and programs they’re offering.
While you should have thoroughly investigated rates, fees and points by the time you get to the closing table, sometimes deals look different on the day of closing.
If you’re at all concerned about the lender with whom you’re doing business, you’re far better off canceling the deal within the 3-day right of rescission than you are going through with the refinance and then starting the refinancing process all over again.
The best way to evaluate the different lenders is to compare the refinancing deals they offer. What can you expect them to put on the table?

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.
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.
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.
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.
Your monthly payment will be less.
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.
