For a refinance, you'll need the same information you needed when you originally financed your home, plus some additional information about the current status of your loan and the terms you hope to get with your refinance.
This is the current principal left on your original loan. You can contact your current loan servicer to find out how much is left.
You’ll also need to know what your current interest rate is to calculate your savings if you refinance.
How many years you arranged as a term on your original loan will also affect your savings from refinancing.
This helps calculate how many years are left on your loan term, which can affect your savings via a refinance.
Typically, you’ll be looking for a lower interest rate as one of the main benefits of refinancing your home.
How long your new term is will affect your savings and how long it will be before refinancing pays off for you.
With this information, you’ll be able to estimate the costs of the refinance, the savings over the new loan term compared to the old one, and how many years it will take before you “break even” (when the amount you’ve saved surpasses the up-front costs of the refinance.)
