A true no-cost refinance means you pay no money upfront and neither your loan amount nor your interest rate is increased to build any costs into your new loan. To calculate a break-even point, divide the anticipated total cost of your refinance by the monthly savings on your loan payment.
The first is that your existing mortgage may have a prepayment penalty, particularly if you took it out less than one year ago. If your current mortgage was a no cost mortgage or refinance, you'll probably have a prepayment penalty if you refinance within less than three to five years.Prepayment penalties can be steep-often equal to six month's interest charges on your current mortgage.he general rule of thumb is that you don't refinance unless you can save at least a full percentage point off your current interest rate. In reality, however, the key question is whether you can reduce your interest rate enough to offset your closing costs-and that depends on how long you plan to stay in the home.
