How to Apply — Step by Step
Identify the goal
Define whether you want payment relief, a shorter term, cash out, or another program change.
Compare today’s options with the existing loan
Review rate, APR, costs, remaining balance, and expected time in the property.
Calculate break-even
Estimate how long it may take for the projected benefit to recover refinance costs.
Complete underwriting
Provide borrower and property documentation required for the selected refinance.
Review final figures
Confirm the new payment, cash to close or cash out, costs, and long-term impact before closing.
Who Qualifies?
Refinance eligibility depends on the existing loan, current property value, loan-to-value, credit, income, occupancy, program rules, seasoning, and the purpose of the refinance.
A refinance decision should be based on the total economics. A lower monthly payment can come from a lower rate, a longer term, or both, so compare interest cost and break-even—not just the new payment.
