Refi question - closing costs
We did a seller's concession when we bought our home. Is it ever possible to do this with a refi?

Yes.
it wouldn't be considered a 'sellers concession', but you can roll the closing costs into the loan (assuming your loan to value ratio allows it).
It may/may not be wise to do so. If you're refi-ing with your current lender you can usually bypass the mortgage tax (saving you $$). But it you're changing the amount of your loan (by adding in closing costs), I think you're again subject to the tax because its now considered a new loan.

We are in the process of doing a re-fi with a new bank. According to the mortgage consultant that I spoke with at the new bank, if the old bank is willing to assign the mortgage (it is totally up to the old bank) then it is not a new loan, even if you are financing the closing costs - there is no cash-out.

agreed.
Chase reassigned my loan which was an $1,100 fee.
so I paid that and only tax on the difference in the loan amt( cash taken out + closing costs).
SO I paid tax on $30,000 instead of $360,000
