 | How much higher will the interest rate be if you don't pay the
closing costs (The size of your mortgage makes a big difference with
this issue) |
 | How different will your monthly payment be (The size of your
mortgage also makes a big difference with this issue) |
 | How long do you intend to live in the home |
 | Would you be better off paying off credit card debt than paying
closing costs |
 | Do you think there is a likelihood that interest rates will drop
enough for you to lower your interest rate further in the future by
doing a no cost refinance at a later date? (The ideal
situation would be to do a no closing cost mortgage now and then
reduce your rate in the future using a no closing cost refinance,
but interest rates would have to drop 1/2 percent or more to make
this option viable) |
