Frequently asked questions
When should I refinance?
When you can lower your rate meaningfully, shorten your term, drop PMI, or need equity — and you’ll stay past the break-even point.
How much does refinancing cost?
Closing costs vary; a no-cost option trades them for a slightly higher rate. We’ll show both.
How long does it take?
Commonly 30–45 days; FHA/VA streamlines can be faster.
Can I refinance with a low credit score?
Often yes, via FHA or other flexible programs. Better credit simply improves your rate.
