This refi saves my client over $168K

Profile picture for Bestcamortgage

A client came to me with refi help.  Here is the situation:
1.  Loan amount $560,000 at 5.5% with 20 years remaining to pay off
2. Client goal:  Save money on refi 
3. Refi will be no point, now fee and no out of pocket closing cost
  
 My recommendation:  Refi intto a 15 yr fixed loan at 3.375%   

Without refi, his total  payment (20 yr) will be $883,200.00
After refi, his total payment (15 yr)   $714,430.80

Refi total  saving: $168,769.20.  The refi also shortens the mortgage pay-off by 5 years.

Welcome to Zillow.  It appears that you've ended up with an agent tag rather than a lender tag.  Would you like me to flag your post/profile so Zillow customer service can help you fix it?

I can't figure out if that's a question or an infomercial (spam).  What are you asking?

Its Called advertising!  
Really, you switched them from a 30 year to a 15 year and they are going to save money over the length of the loan?
Wow!  You are the first Mortgage Broker in the world to come up with that one. LOL

May I also mention that a 3.375% 15 year rate on 550K is thievery? I would not be bragging about that if I was him!

I have a better idea.  Refinance them into a one year loan at 4%. Total payments over the life of the loan would be $576,800.  They will save over $300,000.

Oh yeah? Well I told them to sell off all their stock, and pull out money from all their retirements accounts and pay the thing off in cash. 

I'm a genius and saved them a bazillion dollars!

Hi wdtdawgs:
Thanks for the post. I was not aware of the tag when I created my account.  I have already changed the tag to lender from agent. Thanks again.
