Common Questions
When is refinancing worth it?
When break-even (closing costs ÷ monthly savings) is under 24-30 months AND you plan to stay past that.
How long does a refinance take?
30-35 days is standard. VA and FHA streamlines can close faster.
Do I need a new appraisal?
Usually yes, though appraisal waivers are common on Conventional and streamlines on FHA/VA.
