dunno what bad or good things you’re hearing about any lender.
just shop the rate around, read the fine print around any points pay down you buy, and look at the resulting amortization schedulers.
compare and pick the best rate.
p.s.: avoid any variable rate mortgage.
p.p.s.: not sure how refinancing now is going to help you pay off debt as you’d just be trading one debt for another with how ‘high’ mortgage rates are currently.
1400 a month and add how many years to your total payment? You have to be careful not to look at just one side of the equation. Bank always like to say lets refinance you will save $500 a month- which is true but if they turn around and add 5 more years as an example to your existing payment you might actually lose money. I suggest you ask them to provide how much you will pay total over the life of the loan if you make the minimum payment they mentioned and then compare to your actual loan over the remaining life of the loan
What’s your current mortgage interest rate and what’s the interest rate on this other debt?
Would it significantly increase your mortgage rate? Have you explored helocs? Or maybe just a credit card consolidation loan?
I’d weigh a debt snowball against this solution. A debt snowball teaches you how to manage finances in the process. A refinance could put you in a bad position if you dip below 20% equity and add PMI which is typically a couple hundred a month. So high interest, cost of refi, potentially PMI it could put you in a bad position as well. This probably needs more analysis with real numbers.
