Frequently Asked Questions:
Are appraisals required for Refinance Loans?
Appraisals are required for Home Equity and Investment Refinance loans, but an appraisal is not needed for Rapid Refinance.
How do I calculate the amount my home will qualify for with a home equity refinance?
In Texas, you can refinance your home for up to 80% of your home’s value. Home values typically increase over time, and as you pay your mortgage, the amount you owe reduces. For example, if you owe $150,000 on your mortgage, and your home appraises at $250,000, you could refinance up to $200,000 and receive $50,000 cash out.
What is the difference between the interest rate and the annual percentage rate?
The interest rate is the amount you will pay every year on your mortgage loan expressed at a percentage rate. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) includes the interest plus any other charges related to your mortgage loan. The APR includes the interest rate plus any fees or points associated with your loan. The interest rate does not include any additional fees associated with your loan. For this reason, the APR is usually higher than the interest rate.
Will my mortgage loan be sold?
It depends on your mortgage loan. Texell has options for loans that will not be sold to another lender. Ask your mortgage loan officer for the loan that best meets your needs.
