Channel: Mortgage Education & Finance with Stephanie Weeks

[0]
in this video we're going to talk about
[1]
lots of exciting things one of the main
[3]
ones
[4]
being how do you save tons of money and
[6]
maybe consolidate some of your other
[7]
debt
[8]
stay tuned because i'm going to go
[9]
through all of that with you
[16]
i want to take a moment to say thank you
[17]
so much to all our veterans i love va
[19]
loans they're my favorite
[20]
i feel like it's the least that i can do
[22]
to give back to thank you for your
[24]
service and the sacrifices you make as
[26]
well as the sacrifices of
[27]
your family what is a va cash out
[30]
refinance
[31]
it might be a little bit different than
[32]
you think it actually falls under two
[34]
categories
[35]
the first category being the one that
[37]
you're expecting if you're taking cash
[39]
out
[39]
and not just paying off your mortgage
[41]
that's what we know about cash out
[42]
refinances
[44]
but did you know that a cash out va
[46]
refinance
[47]
is also when you're paying off a
[49]
mortgage only
[50]
but a mortgage that is not currently a
[53]
va loan
[54]
so if you're looking to refinance from
[56]
your conventional fha whatever you pick
[58]
it
[59]
from a current loan that's a non-va into
[61]
a va you're actually considered to be
[63]
doing a va
[64]
cash out refinance what are some of the
[67]
benefits
[68]
of cashing out with your va refinance
[70]
well if you're doing another
[72]
type of loan that involves mortgage
[73]
insurance and you're paying that monthly
[76]
how nice would it be to refinance to a
[78]
va loan
[79]
with a lower interest rate and also drop
[82]
that monthly mortgage insurance
[83]
that would be a great way to save
[84]
automatically even if you're not getting
[86]
cash back at closing
[88]
some of the things that you can use your
[89]
va cash out refinance for
[91]
if you want to do more than just pay off
[93]
your current mortgage would be
[95]
maybe you want to consolidate some debt
[97]
maybe you want to consolidate some high
[98]
interest loans
[100]
there are of course a pros and cons to
[102]
this such as
[103]
you don't want to take a loan that might
[105]
have five years left on it
[106]
and refinance it for 30 years if you
[109]
plan to have the new mortgage for 30
[110]
years
[111]
but maybe if you plan to sell your house
[113]
in the next three to five years
[115]
then it might not be so bad to take an
[117]
installment loan that could be a 400
[119]
monthly payment and a 7 interest rate
[122]
and go ahead and consolidate that into
[124]
your va loan with a crazy low interest
[126]
rate like they are right now
[127]
you'd save money monthly and you'd save
[129]
money in the long term as well
[131]
because you'll be paying it off in full
[133]
in the three to five years anyway
[135]
here's a great example i just had some
[137]
consumers yesterday that were actually
[140]
looking to refinance and they were going
[142]
to put more money
[144]
in their pocket and not pay off their
[146]
automobile they didn't even
[148]
think about paying off their automobile
[150]
which was at a 13
[151]
interest rate i couldn't even believe it
[153]
13 interest rate
[155]
and around a 400 monthly payment well
[157]
they could borrow a little bit more on
[159]
their mortgage
[159]
and knock that out instead of worrying
[162]
about borrowing less on their mortgage
[163]
so that their payment was
[164]
let's see what it might have been 13 000
[167]
30 year loan
[169]
they were at a 2.75 interest rate 53
[172]
a month it was going to cost them in
[173]
their mortgage or 450 something dollars
[176]
in that auto loan
[177]
that's just one of probably several
[179]
examples of things that you could use
[181]
your cash out in va refinance
[183]
to consolidate debt and put yourself in
[185]
a better short-term and
[186]
long-term position gonna take a quick
[188]
minute to say don't forget to like the
[189]
video and subscribe to the channel
[191]
before i dive into
[192]
the next section i want to decipher the
[195]
difference between
[196]
a va cash out which we just explained
[199]
and a
[200]
va streamline also called an earl
[204]
i-r-r-r-l interest rate reduction loan
[206]
basically
[207]
the difference is with an earl as i'll
[209]
refer to it
[211]
is you're literally just paying off your
[213]
current va mortgage not a different type
[215]
but your current va mortgage you only
[217]
have one mortgage
[218]
not multiple and you are just paying off
[221]
that mortgage
[222]
rolling in your closing costs and
[224]
prepaids and
[225]
you don't even need an appraisal for
[227]
that option you're not going to get any
[229]
cash back at closing
[230]
but it's fantastic if you can reduce
[233]
that interest rate
[234]
and save yourself tons of money either
[236]
monthly or
[237]
long term so short term or long term
[239]
just want to point out those differences
[241]
between
[241]
the true cash out and the actual
[243]
streamline or girl
[245]
so the other thing i want to talk about
[246]
today was the cost
[248]
involved the costs are going to vary
[250]
from lender to lender yes but i want to
[252]
at least give you some reference points
[253]
if you're doing the cash out which we're
[255]
going to talk about now i'm going to do
[257]
another video
[258]
just on an earl so you can check that
[259]
one out later for the cost involved in
[261]
that one but for the cash out today
[263]
where we're either pulling cash out
[265]
or and or paying off a non-va loan
[268]
the cost involved in that would be
[270]
number one an appraisal appraisals do
[272]
also vary from area to area and lender
[274]
to lender
[275]
i would say a good reference point might
[276]
be about 500 so you can expect to have
[279]
that cost
[280]
involved in your va refinance you're
[282]
most likely also going to have a title
[284]
company
[285]
they're going to charge their fees
[286]
they're going to charge cancellation of
[288]
the current mortgage
[289]
they're going to charge recreation of
[291]
the new mortgage that has a lot to do
[293]
with your loan amount
[295]
so not including title insurance because
[297]
that
[298]
is really hard to calculate or give you
[300]
a reference point
[301]
but just talking about maybe recreation
[303]
cancellation title fees
[305]
maybe that's five to seven hundred
[306]
dollars and of course you've got your
[308]
title insurance on top of that
[309]
then the other piece that you're going
[310]
to have is you're going to have your
[311]
closing costs
[313]
such as you might be paying for a credit
[315]
report
[316]
an administration fee you might be
[318]
paying for
[320]
underwriting fee lenders call them
[322]
different things and i have seen lender
[324]
fees range from
[325]
zero all the way up to several thousand
[327]
dollars just to give you a reference
[328]
point for that as well
[330]
last but not least and i don't like to
[332]
call it a cost because i don't believe
[333]
it to be a cost
[335]
but that would be to set up your new
[336]
escrow account most lenders will not
[338]
allow an
[338]
escrow account transfer which means your
[341]
new
[342]
loan will start a whole new escrow
[344]
account meaning you'll get a refund of
[346]
your current escrow account about 45
[348]
days after this new closing
[350]
i don't like to call it a cost because
[351]
think about it this way even if you have
[353]
no mortgage
[354]
do you pay home insurance you should and
[357]
you probably do
[358]
and even if you have no mortgage you
[359]
have property taxes absolutely
[361]
so those aren't necessarily cost but it
[364]
feels like it
[365]
because you're starting a new escrow
[366]
account and that includes some cushions
[368]
required to make sure that
[370]
the account can handle some ebbs and
[372]
flows those are things that you can
[373]
think about when it comes to
[375]
the cost involved or surrounding your
[377]
cash out va loan
[379]
the last thing i'm going to talk about
[380]
today are the myths surrounding va loans
[384]
i want this to be so clear because
[387]
our veterans have sacrificed so much and
[389]
you deserve
[390]
everything that you have earned a lot of
[392]
the myths are
[393]
things such as you can't refinance to a
[396]
va loan when you're not currently in a
[398]
va loan
[399]
that is not true another one that i hear
[402]
a lot
[403]
is that if you're purchasing i know this
[406]
is a refi video but we're talking about
[407]
myths
[408]
if you're purchasing a home and
[410]
financing via va that they will
[412]
finance your closing costs and prepaids
[414]
they will not
[415]
you can try to negotiate the seller to
[417]
help you with that but you have to come
[419]
up with that money if not
[420]
they don't cover your closing and
[422]
prepaids although they will finance you
[424]
100
[424]
if you're eligible another huge myth
[427]
that i'm hearing
[428]
all of the time is that you can only use
[430]
your va benefit once
[431]
and that's absolutely not true and
[433]
breaks my heart because
[435]
it's such a good loan and you should not
[436]
be missing out on that there's actually
[438]
not a limit to how many times
[440]
that you can use your va benefit to get
[442]
yourself a va loan
[444]
and last but not least one of the other
[446]
big myths i hear is that you can only
[448]
have one va loan at a time
[450]
surprisingly that is also not true
[453]
it depends on your eligibility but i've
[455]
known of veterans actually have as many
[456]
as four loans at once
[458]
again depends on your eligibility and a
[460]
number of factors but that's another big
[462]
myth that hopefully we can bust today i
[465]
hope that this is helpful for you today
[467]
when we're talking here about va and
[469]
we're talking about cash out we're going
[470]
to do that other video
[471]
talking about the streamline option
[473]
remember you deserve and have earned
[476]
these benefits
[476]
so always look into your va loan even if
[479]
you think it's maybe not the way that
[480]
you're gonna go
[481]
today's free download is going to be a
[483]
cheat sheet that i've come up with
[485]
and it's basically gonna walk you
[486]
through the cost versus break even
[489]
to do your refinance you want to make
[491]
sure that you're looking at the cost
[493]
and the break even to make sure you're
[494]
making the best decision
[496]
