Quick Tips for Getting Started on Your Refinance

When you refinance your existing mortgage, you are essentially paying off the existing mortgage debt and replacing it with a new loan. Many of the same costs are involved in refinancing a loan as are in first-time financing.

To start with, the lender will need personal information to verify employment for you and your co-borrower (if there is one). They will also need information regarding all of your debts and assets, including your existing mortgage.

In order to expedite the paperwork process, start gathering the following items:

  • W2's from the last two years (For borrower and co-borrower, if you filed separately)
  • If you are self-employed, bring signed copies of your last two year's tax returns, including all schedules that were filed, and a profit/loss statement or balance sheet for the current year.
  • Most recent bank statements
  • Most recent statements from 401ks, IRAs, mutual funds and securities accounts.
  • Attorney Contact information.
  • Homeowner's insurance company name and number.
  • A copy of your current Mortgage payment coupons for your existing loan or loans, along with the outstanding mortgage balances and contact information for your lender or lenders.


There are full cost, low-cost and no-cost refinance loan options available and some or all of the fees and closing costs associated with your loan may be paid by the broker or rolled into your loan. Your rate and or size of your loan will be affected by the option you choose. (There is no free lunch!)

Just as you encountered in your original loan, your lender will be required to provide you with a Truth-in-Lending Statement that outlines the fees associated with your new mortgage loan. Let us help you evaluate your personal situation and assist you in finding the loan program that works best to meet your long-term goals.
