Refinance To Meet Your Goals
Mortgage refinancing lets you save money or tap equity. Set your home refinance goal, then compare rates and fees.
When And Why You Should Refinance A Home
When your goal is to pay less every month, you can refinance into a loan with a lower interest rate. Another way to reduce the monthly payment is to extend the loan term. The drawback to extending the term is that you pay more interest in the long run.
Reduce Your Monthly Payment
Tap Into Equity
When you refinance to borrow more than you owe on your current loan, NorthPort will give you a check for the difference. This is called a cash-out refinance. People often get a cash-out refinance and a lower interest rate at
the same time.
Pay Off Your Loan Faster
When you refinance from a 30-year mortgage into a 15-year loan, you pay off the loan in half the time. As a result, you pay less interest over the life of the loan. This can help reduce the amount of interest you will pay.
The Best Time To Refinance
To know if it’s the right time to refinance, first determine how long you plan to stay in your home, consider your financial goals and know your credit score. All of these things, along with current refinance interest rates, should play a role in your decision about whether — and when — to refinance. Refinancing a mortgage involves taking out a new loan, typically with better terms, in order to pay off an existing loan. People typically choose to refinance when interest rates decrease or if they have an adjustable-rate loan that is higher than available rates. If you are considering refinancing a mortgage, it is a good idea first to calculate how much it can change your payment.

What's Your Mortgage Type
Choosing among the different types of mortgage loans isn’t all that painful if you know the lingo. Choosing a mortgage program often comes to a choice between these two mortgage types: FHA or Conventional? Both are good options, but mortgages are a bit like power tools, you want to choose the one that is right for the job.
What To Expect During Underwriting
Did you know that your finances go through a process called underwriting before you can officially get a mortgage? Underwriting is a crucial component of the home loan process because you can’t get to closing until your lender's team completes the underwriting for your mortgage. Let’s dive in and learn more about the underwriting process.
