    5 common mistakes when refinancing
    1. Not shopping other mortgage brokers for a better interest rate and fees
    2. Only paying attention to the interest rate
    3. Not calculating your break even point
    4. Going back into a 30 year fixed loan
    5. Bottom fishing and waiting to refi looking for a lower interest rate
    I hope this housing market mortgage update provides you with insight on refinancing and what you should do if you are considering taking advantage of lower interest rates to lower your mortgage payment or do a cash out refinance.
    Please let me know your thoughts below: what are your predictions for the housing market 2020 forecast and the housing market 2020 california? Do you believe that interest rates will go even lower? Are you one of those that believe there is a real estate bubble or a housing market crash 2020 coming? If so, why do you believe that

    1. Shop around
    2. Do not focus only on rate
    3. Figure cost of refinance and when that breaks even
    4.dont extend Mortgage... specialize loan terms available
    5. Do try to time the market

    3 you can take a higher rate and pay no cost , 4 it’s not savings it’s cash flow , there are options one is low rates discipline, take “extra money” and invest it. 5, you do the math always , an option is a no closing cost loan and refi , you always need options .

    MISINFORMATION: Please stop telling people multiple inquiries don't hurt your credit within 45 days! Experian says right on their own credit report that multiple inquiries only count as 1 within **14 DAYS** (not 45 days!). Don't believe the hype. For years, people have said hard inquiries within 30-45 days don't hurt your credit, but actually it's only 2 weeks with Experian which is an extremely short period of time!! Also, the credit report states hard inquiries don't disappear for 25 months! Wish I had known this sooner before rate shopping.

    Thanks! Am just now looking to refi or get a second to pay off unsecured, high interest, debt, but first option wants over 10k in closings and 11k in PMI, plus go longer than I want, payoff first (already currently lower rate), and have me pay for appraisal on top. Credit isn’t too bad at 660, house is valued higher than current mortgage, should be able to find refi or 2nd that will not cost as much as all that!

    Good information and timely for me. My current interest rate is 5.8%; credit is high 700s and I have over $600k in equity. Problem is, I’m a business owner and I deliberately keep my W2 income low. I’ve been in house 12 years and the only time I tried to refinance, I was told my income was too low. That was about 8 years ago. I’m going to try to refinance again with clear picture of income and see what happens.

    At 7:45 you said that when going with a shorter term loan vs extending back out to a 30 year loan, "keep in mind the cost savings arnt going to be as great." However, this statement isn't true. From what I understand extending back out to a 30 year loan, thats actually when the cost savings arnt going to be as great bc you'll end up paying more in interest over the longer extended period of time. Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understand, generally speaking, you save more interest by shortening the length of your loan and pay more by extending it.

    • @JebSmith
      @JebSmith  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      that would be true if you keep the loan for 30 years.......Most do not...In fact, most people keep their loan less than just a few years.

    • @norcal-ce7yk
      @norcal-ce7yk 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@JebSmith You specifically said that the cost savings are more by extending the loan out 30 years, that is not true. Sure your monthly payment might be smaller but overall the "cost savings" are not going to be more, your overall cost will be more in the form of interest. For the sake of mentioning a 30 year loan its implied people will keep their loans for 30 years. You didn't mention anywhere in the video about paying it off early after going back to a 30 year OR that most people do. Either way just pointing out that its an inaccurate statement.

    I purchased a fixer upper multi family house. 1st floor is rented. i am now into the 25yrs from 30yrs loan. The value of the house has gone up since i purchased the home and Rocket Mortgage keeps calling me to refinance. I have a FHA(4.625 rate) load and they want me to refinance and put me in a conventional loan(3.29). My question is should i refinance back to 30yrs? I will also take your advice and see what feed will they add on and also shop around if it makes sense to refinance. - Thanks

    When you talk about going back to a 30 year loan for cost savings, would it make sense to refi into the 30 year fixed for the savings but make an extra payment toward the prinicple each month in order to pay it off in how ever many years the person refinancing wishes?
    I'm new at this and plan to refi a loan I took out in 2009 with a 5.5% rate. My credit is much better now than then so I will qualify for the lowest interest rate being offered and I do want cash out, but my family keeps telling me that It would be a bad move to refi back into a 30 year fixed when I only have 17 years left on the loan. But by my logic, I don't see that it matters since my monthly payments will be more than $200 less each month and I can just put that money each month toward the prinicple which calculates to pretty much the same payoff date. I'm learning and dont' want to make a mistake and appreciate any help you can give. Also, do you suspect, with everything going that interest rates will remain steady or continue to fall or go up? Thanks for all your help! You're very knowlegable.

    I have 21 years left to pay off my loan (end 2041). After some calculation If I can refinance now to a lower rate and extend term to 30yrs (2020-2050) on my current loan, I save roughly $400. I was thinking I can pay additional $400 (from the saving after refinancing) to the principle (every month) on the new loan (essentially the same monthly payment) to shave off the term from 2050 to 2036. This is about 5 years sooner than the original loan (while paying exactly the same) and knocking out a lot of the interest. Am I going about this the right way? Is this a good tactic? Has anyone tried this yet? I am using an online mortgage payoff calculator and amortization schedule to get these dates.

    • @mejerdhillon4619
      @mejerdhillon4619 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This scenario is beautiful. Just be sure to calculate the fee's (closing costs) associated with the refinance. When you figure this out be sure to calculate your break even point. You find that by dividing the closing costs by the annual savings in INTEREST EXPENSE (not payment difference). If you plan to stay in the property longer than the break even point then the refinance would make sense in that situation.

    Hi, Jeb. I guess I'm late to the party, but I'm a first-time home buyer still looking for a home, but given the interest rates now, I am thinking ahead for appraisal -based refinancing. Is the appraisal based on the value of the home at that time (based on average prices that homes are sold at that time) or will the appraisal be based on the actual assessment (meaning the value will probably be almost always lower than a potential selling price of the home at that point)?

    I did an 80/20 loan many, many years ago.
    I continue to pay the first loan, but have since defaulted on the second. It went to collections so I just ignored it.
    If I were to refinance would I have to combine both loans to pay off the collections? Or can I just refinance the first loan by itself?

    • @jovitarich7078
      @jovitarich7078 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Talk to an expert because when You stop making payments to the second, your credit probably went bad and it’s hard to refinance. I believe that if do chapter 7 than your credit gets worse but it erases the second loan completely?

    Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️ question ,
    What does it mean discount borrower ? Because on my fees it says $4000 for 1 point . Is that something it’s mandatory and I need to pay ? Something feels off .
    This is the response I received -
    Yes that is what is the origination .. I had told you this is what my company charges .. if I raise the rate I can make rebate but I don’t do that I do it at no charge to buyer ..
    Thanks hope I can get your input .

    My grandma is getting a 3.5% for a cash-out refinance, they want her to lock it in before appraisal, is that normal? Is 3.5 a good percent right now? I cant find a chart that says what the last Cash-out rates have been, I only find the regular refinance rate amounts and Ive been told that I can't follow that beacuse Cash-out refinances are at a higher rate... why is it so hard to find the rates? closing costs are to be 3,500 with the appraisal at 580 included. Also, he is talking about locking in the rate now and he offers a free float down,,, but is that a sales gimmick?

    • @JebSmith
      @JebSmith  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Locking in the rate before the appraisal is unheard of......it really depends on whether or not your grandma wants to risk the rate going higher whether or not she should lock it. Hard to know whether it's a good rate or not as there are a lot of factors that play into the rate outside of it being a cash-out refinance, same goes for the closing costs.......Definitely not a bad rate but I was able to get below 3% on a cash out refinance about 2 months ago, fyi.

    Hi Jeb, thanks for putting out these helpful videos! I'm a real estate investor doing my tax return, which I plan to submit as proof of income for a mortgage refinance application on my investment property this month. Just wondering, if I claim my investment property mortgage interest as a tax deduction (lowering my adjusted gross income on my tax return), will a loan underwriter add this back in to boost my AGI back up to the pre-mortgage interest deduction amount - since the application purpose is to refi the balance I pay this interest on? Or would it be wise to (illogically) give up the mortgage interest deduction for this particular tax year, so I may have an obviously higher AGI for the sake of the refi app? FYI - difficult self-employed investor scenario here ;-) Thanks!
