The rule of thumb says that if your present mortgage is two or more points higher than cur rent rates, refinancing should work to your advantage. In utilizing any rule of thumb, it is important to remember that it is only a guideline and may not be applicable in all cir cumstances. You see, the downside of refinancing involves up-front costs, such as prepayment pen alty (if your present mortgage includes this clause), applica tion fees, appraisal fees, legal fees, other recording fees and points. Each point is equal to 3 Y K E 8 one percent of the mortgage commitment. For example, one point on a $140,000 mort gage would be $1.400. If you’re planning to re main in your present home for the long term and expect to be paying on your mortgage for many years, the costs of refi nancing may be well worth the expense and save you thou sands of dollars in interest ex penses. However, if you pay the up-front expenses and re locate in a short period of time, refinancing may not be the prudent course for you We go the extra smile.
