Went through Fifth Third on a VA loan. Closing cost was about $1500, which I rolled into the new loan. My intent is to pay the mortgage early, hopefully within 5 or 6 years. Considered the difference between just making larger payments on the 30 year loan, but I still save money with the refi even though paying off early.

It depends on the amount of your line of credit. A home eq. loan is the same as CC debt (revolving credit), but cc debt is not bad IF you have a large open line of credit. They look at the amount of credit vs. debt in regards to revolving credit.

Im looking at picking up my first place and I'm getting a damn good deal

[RACER X]

Talked w our current mortgage, citimortgage

$450 out of pocket
Drop from 30 yr to 20 same payment
15yr $200 more

No point buy down

But I keep hearing no fee's, I think the interest they are earning off our house should be enough,

It's thru their streamline deal, crazy thing is no real income check and they can fin. Up tp 200% more then the value of 'your' house....

I got 4.25% fixed on a 30yr
paying 110,000 for house appraised at 165,000$
