A Guide for Refinancing Your Home

With home values at record highs, refinancing a home at Lake of the Ozarks is a great financial decision for many. Refinancing your home is essentially repurchasing your home at the current rates. While it isn't as complicated as buying a home, there are many similar steps that will need to take place. Our mortgage lender at Lake of the Ozarks is here to help guide you through the entire refinancing process!


Evaluate Your Financial Health

Many of the same documents that were required when you initially purchased your home are needed to refinance. Pay stubs, W-2 tax documents, and bank statements are all documents your lender will need to evaluate to get a snapshot of your current financial health. 


Determine Interest Rate

Your interest rate will be determined based on many factors, some of which include your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and current market conditions. Once your interest rate is determined, your lender can lock in that rate while your loan is going through underwriting to ensure all of your submitted documents are accurate. 


Appraise Home Value

An appraisal will need to be conducted on your property to determine the estimated value in today's market. An appraiser will come look at the property, as well as evaluate comparable homes in the area to help determine the appraised value of the home. 


Closing

Just like when you initially purchased your home, you'll go through the same closing process. This typically includes you, your lender, and your title company all coming together to review and sign the final closing documents.
