Short Pay

Real Property Law - Short Pay

Definition:

When interest rates decline, or when homeowners have a major expense for home improvement, some homeowners ask for a short pay or refinance of their home. Homeowners check the interest rate of their current mortgage, along with other factors such as the interest rate of the new mortgage, refinancing costs, their income, credit status and the equity they have in their home, when they consider mortgage refinancing.

Consequences of Short Pay:

When a homeowner refinances their home, it means that equity in their home will be traded off for cash. A homeowner should then ask themselves what benefit they would get if they receive a lump sum of cash. A homeowner should be careful when refinancing their home because it may help monthly savings for the mortgage payment, but adversely affect consumer debt.

What a Lawyer can do for you:

Whether you would like to refinance your mortgage to get better interest rates, reduce current mortgage costs, lower your monthly payments or use equity for other things, a refinance lawyer can help you achieve your goals. Refinancing lawyers can help you understand your options and work in your best interest.
