The closing costs are closer to $2,000, but I will be saving close to 200 a month. A co-worker recently just refinanced under this plan and got a rate of 4.875.

You will cancel a lot of interest. You should check what I did for my last client. They had a new 30 yr loan of 200,000. With an extra $200 per month they will pay off in 15 years. Guaranteed!

We locked in a 4.875 interest rate and closing costs will be about $900. We went through the same bank that our mortgage is currently with and as of right now the process seems pretty painless. We will be saving about $165 a month, so I estimate that our closing costs will be recouped in about 5 or 6 months. Our plans are to take a portion of the $165 savings each month and have it automatically applied to the principle of our mortgage. The additional we will use to cover current expenses and boost our savings. Surprisingly, I just started the refinance process with our bank last week.

For every dollar you pay your mortgage lender 83 cents of every dollar go to interest. YES 80 cents on the dollar. THAT's how the banks build those big buildings. (83 cents is based on the first yr of a 200,000 30 yr loan at 6%.) Mortgages are heavily front end loaded in interest and your loan officer may or may not realize exactly how. For sure they don't like to talk much about it. So when you refinance you go back to paying these high front end costs all over again. Paying off a house is like hiking out from the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Its a long hike. Not easy always. Refinancing is like going back to the bottom and starting all over again. Sure your back pack might be slightly less heavy but if you have ever hiked out of that canyon....... Guess what?
