"Hi this is Matt McKillen with Innovative Financial Group. The question posed to me today is how do you refinance your home? Refinancing your home is almost the same identical process that you took when you purchased your home. You'll apply for a loan with a lender or a mortgage broker and in turn what entails in the process is that they'll have to collect new income documentation based on the current time, not from when you bought your home which usually entails a couple of pay stubs, maybe the last two years W-2's. There will have to be a new appraisal done on your home which means that they will send an appraiser out to get the new market value of your property based on sales in your neighborhood within the last 3 to 6 months. Once that appraisal's back, they've processed your income documentation, the loan is then formally submitted to an underwriter who will in turn will review the package to make sure that you can qualify the new loan payment. In looking at that, they take a look at your credit history, how much you have in other debts, your ability to repay the loan, if everything comes within the guidelines, what will happen at that point is the underwriter will approve the loan and you'll go to closing. When you go to closing, they will have ordered a payoff on your existing mortgage and from the new loan, they'll turn around pay off the old loan that you have and all the closing costs that were incurred in refinancing your mortgage. Again my name is Matt McKillen, I'm with Innovative Financial Group."
