I would say that it should take around 30 days for the FHA streamline refinance. Since you have all your information together from the last lender you should be able to easily give that information to another lender if you wish to do so. [self promotion deleted by Zillow moderator.
Every time you refinance your home you restart the clock and pay less principal. This makes it take longer to pay off your home. One way to mitigate this problem is to refinance to a shorter-term loan. For instance, a 10-year-old $200,000 30-year mortgage at seven percent carries a monthly payment of $1,331. If you were to refinance the remaining $171,953 balance for 20 years at 5 percent, you would pay the loan off in the same amount of time and save almost $200 a month based on the new payment of $1,135.
