7.125% interest rate on a conventional investor loan: When should I try to refi

Connor Castillo
Posted

Hi all,

With this interest rate, when should I might try to refinance to lock in a lower rate. The home is in Columbia, SC. With the .5 point cut, I think the rates already dropped in anticipation of this happening, but not sure if anyone has further insight into this?

Thanks!

Much of that depends on your loan size.  If your loan amount if 700k then a rate decrase of .50% - .625% often times makes sense.  

If you are looking at a loan amount of 100k then I wouldn't recommend refinancing unless you are shaving at LEAST a full percent off the loan and likely that wouldnt even be enough.  

Another big factor is which state the property is located.  Refinancing a home in Florida will typically cost 2x-4x more in fees than a property in Indiana.
