<p><strong>NOW is the time to consider a Mortgage Refinance, Second Mortgage, Home Improvement Loan or a Debt Consolidation Loan.</strong></p>
<p>Our simple to use Internet wizard forms allow you the simplicity and security of providing the required information needed in just a few minutes and will connect you with some of the country&#8217;s most respected Mortgage, Home Improvement and Debt Consolidation Lenders.</p>
<p><strong>When Interest rates fall, like they have now, refinancing may make sense even if you have done so once already.</strong></p>
<p>One example: Tom and Danielle Condon of Asheville, North Carolina, refinanced twice within three months in 2005. In August, they trimmed the rate on their 30-year fixed mortgage by a full point &#8211; from 9.19% to 8.19% &#8211; for a yearly savings of $897. Home prices in their area had boosted their home equity and subsequently they were also able to stop paying for private mortgage insurance that cost them $160 a month.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;We now have a cash emergency fund savings thanks to refinancing our mortgage a second time!&#8221; Tom Condon, Asheville, North Carolina.</em></p>
<p>We offer an easy way to get professional quotes from lenders that specialize in Lending and Refinancing nationwide. This insures that You receive the best possible and financially feasible information available.</p>
<p><strong>Make your refinance work for you!</strong></p>
<p>Refinance for more than the balance remaining on your old mortgage, i.e. tapping your home equity, or &#8220;cashing out.&#8221; Thanks to favorable rates, you should be able to do so without boosting your monthly bills. For example, at 8.5%, the payment on a $200,000, 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is $1,538. But at 7.5%, that same payment lets you borrow nearly $20,000 more.<span id="more-5"></span><br />
One of the best uses for the extra cash you can get through refinancing, is to pay off any higher-rate loans you might have.<br />
Let&#8217;s say you have a $15,000 auto loan at 10% and are making minimum payments on a $10,000 credit-card balance at 17%. Your monthly payments on those debts would total $680. Then you refinance your mortgage, taking out an additional $25,000 to pay off your car and credit card, Result: At 7.5%, your additional monthly mortgage payment would total only $175, so you would come out $505 ahead ($680-$175=$505).<br />
Sure, all the extra cash needn&#8217;t go for paying off debts. When the Wilsons&#8217; swapped their ARM for a fixed-rate last December, they also increased their mortgage load by $34,000, from $106,000 to $140,000. They used $3,000 of the proceeds to pay their refinancing costs and another $17,000 to pay off a 10% home-equity loan that had been costing them $250 a month. Then they spent the remaining $14,000 to build a garage for Bill&#8217;s boat &#8211; and they did all this for just another $19 a month&#8230;and Now the ADDED BONUS!! This addition to their house also increased the home&#8217;s overall value!!</p>
<p><strong>So you can plainly see why it makes sense to refinance your home mortgage, consolidate your debts, and make home improvements!</strong></p>
