Mortgage Refinance in Detroit: what to expect
A mortgage refinance in Detroit replaces your current home loan with a new one. A rate-and-term refinance changes the rate, the term or the loan type without taking cash out: for example moving from an adjustable rate to a fixed rate, shortening a term, removing FHA mortgage insurance by moving to conventional, or taking a co-borrower off the loan after a divorce.
Refinancing has closing costs, so the key question is the break-even point: how long it takes the monthly savings to cover the costs. Government loans have streamlined options, such as the FHA streamline and the VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL), that can reduce paperwork.
Homeowners across Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties compare refinances when rates or their finances change. To take cash out, see a cash out refinance. Compare Metro Detroit refinance lenders.

Licensing and disclosures in Michigan
Michigan licenses mortgage brokers, lenders and servicers through DIFS (the Department of Insurance and Financial Services), and individual mortgage loan originators need their own license unless an exemption applies. Banks and credit unions are exempt from the state company license, and their loan officers are registered in NMLS instead. Either way, the NMLS ID must appear on applications and ads: look it up on NMLS Consumer Access.
On most refinances of your primary home, federal law gives you three business days after signing to cancel in writing. Compare the Loan Estimate from your current servicer with at least two other lenders.
