Bad Credit Home Mortgage Refinance - Should You Refinance
By Carrie Reeder

 

 

A bad credit home mortgage refinance is possible for people with previous credit problems. The interest rates will not be as low as those for consumers with good credit but you can still end up saving in the end.

There are several questions you should ask yourself when considering a home mortgage refinance. First of all you need to access your credit situation. If credit has been a problem for you in the past, you will want to take control of your finances before applying for a mortgage refinance loan. Refinancing can either help or hinder your current situation.

You will need to calculate all of the costs involved in refinancing before making a decision. A lower rate of interest and a shorter loan payoff time are two desirable perks of refinancing. Some people are only interested in lowering their monthly payment amount. However, you will need to remain in your home long enough to reap the benefits of refinancing. It makes no sense at all to refinance your home if you plan on moving within a few years. It is a good idea to figure how long it will take to recover the costs of refinancing. Some loans may offer a lower rate of interest but have excessive closing costs and fees. You will want to be aware of all costs involved including any additional income taxes you may be charged.

The Two Percent Rule

The two percent rule refers to your existing mortgage rate compared to current rates of interest. Many lenders recommend that you refinance if you can obtain an interest rate two percent less than your current rate. This is just a general rule and should not be the only deciding factor. Often the time you intend to remain in the home is just as important as the lower rate of interest.

On average the costs of refinancing will be at least three percent of your mortgage loan. This is a lot of money to spend and you will want to make sure you will be able to recover these costs when refinancing. If you are making payments on your first home and plan on buying a larger home in the future, a drop in the current interest rates may be the perfect time to purchase a new home. If you can obtain more home space for about the same price, this may be a desirable option.
