Types of Refinance Mortgages in NC & SC

“Why should I refinance my current mortgage?” Well, you can use each of these home refinance options⁴ for different purposes, such as reducing your interest, lowering your mortgage interest rate, or getting funds for other projects.

Home refinancing options are similar to new home loan options³. You can choose from various types of mortgages for your refinancing including:

Fixed-Rate Mortgage (15 or 30 years)

With a fixed-rate 15- or 30- year mortgage, your interest rate stays the same throughout the lifetime of your loan.

Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)

Take advantage of potentially lower interest rates during the initial fixed interest rate period.

Cash-Out Refinancing

With FHA and VA cash-out refinancing, replace your mortgage with a loan worth more than your home so you can pocket the difference.

FHA Streamline Refinancing

Get a lower interest rate and monthly payment with limited paperwork and no home appraisal or credit check.

Interest-Rate Reduction Refinance Loan

Reduce your mortgage payments on an existing VA loan⁵ by lowering interest rates.

Fannie Mae RefiNow

Frequently Asked Questions

NC & SC Mortgage Refinance FAQs

Why are refinance rates higher?

In most cases, refinance rates are not significantly higher than rates for purchase loans. Refinance rates can vary between lenders, however. Some may have higher interest rates but lower fees, which can affect the APR (also known as the annual percentage rate, which includes the interest rate, lender fees, and other refinance charges).

Is it cheaper to refinance with my current lender?

It depends. While it’s sometimes cheaper to refinance with your current lender, it’s also common for other lenders to offer better interest rates and fees that decrease your costs. If you’re refinancing your home, you should research different refinance lenders, and compare rates to find the best deal.

Can I refinance my mortgage with no closing costs?

Yes. There are home refinancing options with no closing costs, which are known as “no closing cost refinances.” However, while no closing cost refinances save you money up-front, they aren’t always the most affordable option long-term. No closing cost refinances charge you a higher interest rate in order to waive the closing costs, meaning you could end up with a larger overall mortgage bill.

What is the average closing cost to refinance a mortgage?

Closing costs to refinance a mortgage are typically 2% to 5% of your mortgage. Most homeowners pay $3,000 to $5,000 in closing costs to refinance a mortgage.

How does refinancing work with equity?

A borrower needs a certain amount of equity in their home to refinance. Most rate and term refinance are allowed with 5% equity in the home (95% LTV). Others, who do a cash-out refinance, will have at least 20% equity in their homes when they refinance, and they can use the refinancing to cash out on that equity. In some cases, you may lose equity when you refinance. In others, you can use your equity to pay the closing costs for your refinancing.

If you’re interested in how refinancing will affect your equity, contact our team today. We can help you determine the most likely effect refinancing will have on your equity.

The Dash Refinancing Process for Homeowners
in the Carolinas

Home loan refinancing can be almost as complicated as applying for a new home loan. In fact, the typical refinance home process is essentially helping you get a new mortgage to replace the mortgage you’re working with now, meaning you often have to follow similar application and financial documentation processes.

Dash is a different kind of refinance lender that uses a simpler process to make your home loan refinancing journey faster and easier. With Dash, you’ll go through just three simple steps:

  1. Fill out an application complete with information on your home, assets, income, and a personal password so you can log in again later.
  2. Receive a confirmation email with a link to login and view your application. You can start, stop, or update your application whenever it’s most convenient for you.
  3. Get started with a Dash Mortgage Coach. We’ll review your application and contact you to discuss your refinancing goals and the best way to achieve them.

No matter your circumstances – self-employed with a less-than-perfect FICO®* score or retired with some credit card debt – our Mortgage Coaches will find a lending option that works for you.

We’ll walk you through everything – from pre-qualification to approval. Our team will be by your side every step of the way to ensure your refinancing goes smoothly.

Ready to get started? Call our NC & SC Mortgage Coaches at 704-286-9328 to schedule a consultation at your nearest Dash location in the Carolinas.
