WhooHooo... we just refinanced!!!

long story short, we used to have an adj. rate neg amortization loan (horrible, i know)...we were able to refi to a 30 yr fixed fha loan at 6.5% last july.

well today we have refi'd again to a 4.875% 30 year fixed loan, with virtually no closing costs!! Bank of america ate all of the closing costs! they had originally told us it would be about $10 k, but they somehow worked it so that we had to pay only $1000. we just signed all of the papers.

you need to share who you worked with.

I need this info..been thinking about it for months.

I want to pull some equity out and do some work on the house and refinancing is just so expensive. My chase banker quoted over $8K in closing!

Were you happy with them? Would love to know who you worked with.

We are re-starting the re-fi process all over again. How was the FHA process?

Do you mind telling me who you refinanced with? My current mortgage is with Bank of Ameria so I went through them to refinance. They told me my closing costs were going to be about $5000 and I just got a GFE for double that Chat Icon

WOW. That's going to be a great saving! Especially since your closing cost is so low, that's even better to recoup the cost.

Wow that's great Congrats!

We're in the middle of this process too but seem to keep going in circles with our options.
