Refinance the Loan On Your Kentucky Home
Save yourself some money, get extra cash, pay off your debt—these are just a few of the benefits of refinancing your mortgage. You can also change your terms to pay off your loan faster and build equity quicker.
Is Refinancing Right For You?
Who It’s For
When you refinance, you’re essentially getting a new loan that pays off your current loan. There are various reasons to do this, including:
- Moving from a fixed-rate mortgage with a high interest rate to a loan with a lower interest rate
- Moving from an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed rate
- Consolidating two mortgages into one
- Moving from a long-term loan to a shorter-term loan to pay it off and build equity more quickly
- Moving from a shorter-term loan to a longer-term loan that pays down the principal
- To have extra cash to make a purchase or pay off other debt
- Trying to get a better rate because your credit has improved

REFINANCE - FAQs
To answer this question, think about your goals. What are you trying to achieve?
- Do you want to take advantage of falling interest rates?
- Is your monthly mortgage payment putting a serious strain on your budget and you’d like it lowered?
- Do you want to build equity?
There are many reasons to refinance loans and if you have a specific goal in mind, it’s wise to consider it.
The fees will vary among lenders but there are some standard ones that you can expect, including:
- 3rd party fees (credit report, title, escrow, etc.)
- Appraisal fee
- Lender fees for processing and underwriting
You should also be prepared to pay prorated costs associated with property taxes, interest, and homeowners insurance.
If you have enough equity in your home, the fees and costs can be wrapped into your new loan.
Because you’re essentially applying for a new loan, you’ll need to provide many of the same documents you provided for your initial loan, such as pay stubs, bank account statements, and tax returns.
There’s no limit on how many times you can refinance your home.
