 FHA Refinance Loan FAQ's

Are there any out of pocket expenses for an FHA Refinance Loan?
Generally, there are no out-of-pocket expenses incurred with an FHA Home Refinance, other than the appraisal fee. FHA Refinance Guidelines allow all other closing costs, including lender fees, to be included in the new loan amount, provided that the home will appraise for that amount.

Can I take cash out of my home with an FHA Refinance?
Yes, with an FHA Cash Out Refinance, the home owner obtains a new FHA Mortgage Refinance for more than the amount owed on their current mortgage; meaning the homeowner pays off the current mortgage and then has additional cash to use however they want. They maximum loan amount for an FHA Cash Out Refinance is 85% of the homes current appraised value.

What are the guidelines for an FHA Refinance Loan?
If the borrower wishes to take cash out of the property, then the maximum FHA Home Loan Refinance amount is 85% of the current appraised value. If the borrower does not take cash out then the maximum financing will be 97.75% of the appraised value of the home or the amount you are refinancing plus closing costs, whichever is lower.

Why should I consider refinancing into a FHA-insured mortgage?
FHA Refinance Loans do not come with prepayment penalties, have no teaser rates nor balloon payments. They are offered at market rate with terms up to 30 years and are fully amortized, meaning that you pay towards principal and interest every month.

What if I have a prepayment penalty and other refinancing costs and there isn’t enough equity in my home to refinance?
If you do not have sufficient equity in your home to add your prepayment penalty and/or other refinancing costs into your new FHA Mortgage Loan Refinance, then you should ask your lender to consider a second mortgage to pay the difference or a short payoff on your existing loan. Offering either of these options is at the discretion of the lender.

Does it matter that the value of my home is now less than what I still owe?
The mortgage lender considering the refinance will have to be willing to accept a short payoff on the existing loan OR to hold a second mortgage to make up the difference needed to pay off the existing mortgage and the home’s value.
