An ARM, or adjustable-rate mortgage, is often a very savvy option when deciding on a home loan, particularly when interest rates have been at historic lows and have remained there as they have for the past several years.
Refinancing a mortgage allows you to pay off an existing debt on a home with a new loan with different terms and features. The short answer to the question of how frequently you can refinance your mortgage is simple:
The selection of a second mortgage to draw upon your home’s equity may seem simple enough. You want to borrow against the difference between what you owe on your mortgage and what your home is worth.

Remodeling and renovations often add value to your home, but how often do you plan a project that involves adding areas that foster closeness? Making a home more romantic or improving the ways you and your partner (or entire family) can relax and spend time together could help enhance your quality of life.
If you bought your home with a down payment of less than 20 percent, your lender most likely placed private mortgage insurance, or PMI, on the owed balance. This is part of your monthly mortgage payment, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing since it helped you get into your home.
The past several winters, we’ve seen severe blizzards and floods throughout much of the country and floods are already overwhelming the Midwest this year.
Resolutions. They come in many forms: Work out. Eat healthy. Stop overspending. Get bills and paperwork in order. Save for vacation, taxes, college… Or, for your home, perhaps it’s make minor repairs before they turn into major issues?
