#1 Question: Does It Make Sense To Refinance ?
Throw out everything you've heard about when it makes sense to refinance. This easy calculation along with a guess as to how long you'll live in your home can give you the right answer:
REFINANCE FORMULA:
1. FIND OUT THE CLOSING COSTS AND PAYMENT OF YOUR NEW LOAN
2. SUBTRACT THE NEW PAYMENT FROM THE OLD PAYMENT
3. DIVIDE THE MONTHLY SAVINGS INTO THE CLOSING COST OF THE NEW LOAN
4. THIS IS THE NUMBER OF MONTHS IT WILL TAKE TO RECOUP THE COST AND TRUELY HAVE A MONTHLY SAVINGS
5. DIVIDE BY 12 -- THIS IS THE NUMBER OF YEARS IT TAKES TO RECOUP THE COST
FOR EXAMPLE: If the closing costs ( without interest, taxes or homeowner's insurance--because you have to pay these anyway) is $1200.00 and you save $100.00 per month then it will take 12 months to recoup the cost ($1200/$100 = 12months). If you plan to live in the home 5 years you'll save $4800.00 over that time (48month of savings x $100.00/month)
