If you are a homeowner and you worry t about how high your mortgage payments are, here is a choice outside of refinancing (with all of its attendant problems with fees and confidence checks) for you. It’s a procedure that most people have never heard of – it’s called re-amortization. You could be in luck if your mortgage lender provides this. You could come by the lowest mortgage rate you could qualify for this way.

So what exactly is it that you have to do to get the process going to get the lowest mortgage rate you can have? What you need to do is, you need to pay your lender a significant sum of the original principal back that you owe them, and then question them to return you to the interest rate and loan terms you had to commence with. The sum of money you pay back resets your loan. With a new reset principal, your new monthly payments will be converted into lower, and so will the interest you pay.

The excellent thing about the total deal is that you aren’t questioned to pay any closing costs or to place yourself through the wringer of another confidence check. You already have their money, and they don’t treat you like you were asking for a new loan. All they question you for is a processing fee of about $100. Who should get this done? Anyone who has distress qualifying for refinancing because of poor confidence could benefit from a plot like this. If you have come by a modest extra cash, perhaps salary debts or something, this could be a excellent way to place it to excellent use. It’ll win you the lowest mortgage rate you could ever qualify for.

If you made that lump-sum payment but didn’t question the bank to re-repay your loan, you would still make the same mortgage payment. You would lower the number of months you had left to pay your mortgage off, but you would still have to make the same kind of payments each month until then. A modest complication in all of this is that not every lender has such a facility to make available to borrowers. And even when they do have something like it, they have strict rules for who qualifies and how it has to be done.

For some wits, the lenders never mention anything like this in their advertising. But, they can send you a personal invitation to question if you want this done. One wits they don’t advertise is that if you chose to refinance your mortgage instead, they could earn of money in closing fees. They are no closing fees on a re-amortization. Well, here is always the profit motive that comes in the way.
