Refinancing Your Mortgage: When It Makes Sense — And When It Costs You

Описание: Refinancing a mortgage can lower your monthly payment — but that doesn’t always mean it’s the right move.

Whether you’re considering a conventional refinance or a VA loan refinance (including a VA IRRRL), the real question isn’t just how much you save per month — it’s how long you’ll realistically keep the home.

In this video, I break down:

• How to calculate your refinance break-even point
• Why rolling closing costs into your loan balance matters
• How refinancing affects equity and net proceeds when selling
• What VA homeowners need to know about IRRRLs and entitlement
• When refinancing protects your flexibility — and when it quietly limits it

For VA homeowners, refinancing decisions impact more than payment amounts. VA loan entitlement, rental conversion rules, IRRRL guidelines, and future eligibility all factor into whether a refinance supports your next move.

For civilian homeowners, the same math applies — break-even timing and market conditions determine whether refinancing improves or restricts your options.

If you’re in the Phoenix metropolitan area — including Luke Air Force Base and the West Valley — local market conditions can amplify the impact of refinance decisions.

Refinancing should strengthen your long-term strategy — not create obstacles later.
