Happy New Year!

02/12/2020

Have you consider taking advantage of the historically low interest rates and refinancing your current mortgage?

For almost the last decade, you’ve been hearing everyone say how historically low the rates have been. The rates have dipped even lower in the last few weeks. We’re talking the low 3s (or lower) depending on the amount and terms of the refi.

Homeowners can become fixated on their current monthly payments (which would be helped with a refi), but why not take advantage of your equity? You may be able to do something now that you thought would be 10-15 years away. Cash out refinances can help consolidate debt, finance a house project, or pay for preschool 🤣 among other things.

We work with some great mortgage brokers and lenders. If you are looking for any recommendations, do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].
