Lower my payment
Reduce the payment without fooling yourself.
Almost any refinance can show a lower payment by restarting the clock. A useful one lowers your cost: the payment drops enough, after costs, within the time you will actually keep the loan. That is the standard every option we show has to meet.
Rate-and-term refinance
Replace your current loan with a better structure. The classic payment play, judged by break-even, not by the brochure.
Term changes
Stretching lowers the payment but adds interest; shortening raises it but can save dramatically. We show both honestly.
Mortgage insurance removal
If your equity has grown, restructuring can drop MI and cut the payment without touching the rate at all.
What we look at before recommending anything
- Your current rate, payment, and remaining term
- True savings on a same-payoff-timeline basis
- All costs, and the break-even month they imply
- How long you realistically expect to keep the loan
- Whether points, standard, or credit structures fit best
- Whether the honest answer is to keep what you have
