This mortgage loan example is about a refinance of a single family residence.

MORTGAGE LOAN SCENARIO

The property is owner occupied.

This property is worth around $601,000.

The current mortgage on this property is $460,000.

This gives us a loan to value ratio of 77%.

This borrower's FICO score is 644.

Their current interest rate is 6.61%.

The current loan term is 30 years.

The borrower has a current monthly payment of $2,941.

This loan will be a stated income loan.

The borrowers want to cash out at least $20,000.

Their estimated mortgage loan closing costs (can include property taxes, escrow fee, etc.) are $5,000.

That makes their new loan size after the refinance $485,000.

Their new loan interest rate is 6.11%.

Their new loan has a term of 40 years.
