How does one start the process of refinancing their loan on their home mortgage?

Answer 1

Before refinancing your home, one should consider if refinancing is the right option for them. Refinancing is intended mainly to lower one's interest rate. However, there are some things to be considered when doing this. Refinancing pays off the current loan and creates a new loan at a lower interest rate. Before doing this, the homeowner should know if their current mortgage has a prepayment penalty clause. This means that if they pay the current mortgage early they will have to pay a fine or penalty. This might make refinancing not worth it.
