Details About Mortgage Refinancing in Birmingham
A credit union mortgage refinance means you get an entirely new mortgage to replace your old one. Here are a few tips to help you determine if a mortgage refinance is right for you:
- Choose new terms of 10, 15, 20, or 30 years to obtain a monthly payment suitable for your budget.
- If you’re tired of dealing with an out-of-state mortgage provider who isn’t meeting your needs and would like to enjoy local servicing.
- If your finances have improved significantly, you may qualify for a lower interest rate.
- You can switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage.
- Cash out your equity for a vacation, home improvements, debt consolidation, and more.
- Much like your original mortgage, you will need to pay closing costs. Ensure the gains will outweigh the potential expense.

Your new interest rate and annual percentage rate (APR) are determined by your credit score. Simply put, the higher your score, the lower your mortgage rate.
