No Closing Cost Refinance - No Points or Costs
Why choose a "low cost" loan when you can simply
pay no costs? No closing cost refinances are one of the best ways for
you to save money when you refinance. Why pay thousands of dollars in
closing costs if you don't have to? With a no cost - no points loan, we
pay all closing costs. You keep the $2000 - $4000 you would usually pay
in closing costs. That is just the beginning as we will continue to
refinance your rate lower if the market moves down with no costs.
Homex Financial receives rebates from banks on the
loans that we sell. This enables us to pay all closing costs and
ourselves without having to charge you! This means that you save the
typical fees you would be paying for closing costs. They are not rolled
into the loan, we pay them!
There are two components to closing costs:
1) The 3rd party closing costs (title insurance, escrow, appraisal,
etc.)
2) Points you pay to buy down your rate.

As you can see from this example, although the
first loan, a No Costs - No Points program, has a higher monthly
payment, it has no cost associated with it. This means that you start
saving money right away.
If you choose the second loan, a No Points loan
where you pay the 3rd party closing costs, you would spend $2250 in
closing costs to save only $33 per month. In other words, it will take
you 68 months to break even. That is almost 5.6 years before you start
saving money! If you have a longer term horizon for being in your loan
this makes sense. Our clients typically average 3 to 4 years in their
loans because they 1) Move 2) Take Out Cash 3) Refinance into a lower
rate.
If you choose the fourth loan where you are paying
the 3rd party closing costs with 2 points, you would spend $6,250 in
points and fees and save $97 per month. That is a 64.4 month break-even
period or 5.4 years. This makes sense if you have absolutely no doubt
you will not be moving or expecting to refnance withing that period and
want the lowest mortgage payment.
The most important reason not to give the bank any
of your money is flexibility. If we put you in a No-Cost / No-Points
Loan and rates drop, we will refinance you into a lower rate with no
costs. As the market falls there is no limit to the amount of times we
can do this. When the market moves up, you do nothing as you are fully
protected.
How can we do this?
We have a lower margin that we need to make on
each loan and this enables us to be as competitive as we are. We do not
need to make as much per transaction as other companies because we have
a high rate of repeat customers from past clients who have been
satisfied with our mortgage services.
