Should I refinance??
I have a duplex that is currently on a 30 year loan at a rate of 4.875%. I currently owe $129,600 on it and my monthly payment is $1200. I have 18.7 years remaining left on this loan.
I have been shopping rates and have been quoted a rate of 3.5% on a 30 years for this property. However, fees are around $10K. It will take my 4 years to pay off the fees associated with this refi. I would be saving $212 per month which is nice... but I am just struggling with figuring out if this is even helpful to me or not.
I keep going back and forth on this as to what to do. Not sure if this makes sense to proceed or not... Right now, I am leaning towards not proceeding with refi and just paying on my current mortgage (possibly paying extra on principal).
What are your thoughts? Would you refinance if you were me? I realize everyone has different goals... but I would appreciate some different perspectives in thinking about this. Thanks!!
