Check your local Sunday newspaper. There may be a table showing available interest rates. It would be near the classified ads for houses for sale.
You might be able to get a 15 year mortgage for under 6%. Compare the interest rate to your current rate. If there is a 3% difference, it is probably worth doing.
Yes there will be closing costs if you refinance. Maybe as much as $ 3,500.00.
Lenders make money on interest payments. A lender does what is necessary to get business and be profitable.

The rates are all about the same wherever you go. The difference is service. It sounds like you need to get a good loan officer working for you. I recommend Hamlin Mortgage. They do business in 48 states and are a smaller , more personable office. If you get a chance, check out the free evaluation form at the source website–it will put you in touch with the Hamlin group. Good luck.

Interest rates are about 5.875 and go up from there. Rates are only going to go up, so you may want to lock in now. Lending compines (like mine) make their money in the closing costs of the loan, which are also usually refinanced. I Can do this loan. Contact me whenever conveient.

Lending companies make money on the interest rates. To determine if you will lose money or not you need to look at your house’s value, the equity, etc. Also, if you are going to refinance, make sure the fees are taken out of the equity, not out of your pocket. Hopefully there is enough equity for you to get some cash and pay the fees while not increasing your liabilities too much.
Is it a good idea? Weigh the risks vs. reward so you can make and educated decision.
