As many of you know, interest rates are at record lows. With this comes a lot of questions on refinances I thought I could answer for my referrals partners and clients.What should you watch for when refinancing your home loan?Closing cost and interest rate?Be aware that when you find rates online they are typically quoted with a 1% origination fee/discount point(1% of the loan amount). Higher fee's don't always mean lower rates! When shopping for a mortgage be aware just because one lender charges a higher fee it doesn't necessarily mean they will have the lowest rate. There are also low and no cost loans available too. Ask for a good faith estimate or closing cost estimate from the loan officer. Lenders are required to provide this to you within 3 days from your application.Credit and ... 09/20/2010
