How long do you have to own your house before you can refinance at a lower rate?

Written By: admin on June 28, 2009 One Comment

I bought my house in July 2008 in San Bernardino County in California with a rate of 6.25%. I heard rates are dropping into the 4% area. How long do you need to own a home before you can refinance for a lower rate? I have an FHA loan and a neighbor told me that if I call FHA they can simply just switch the rate for me, but that certainly doesn't sound right.

    It depends on what your mortgage states. I also have an FHA loan. It states that I cannot refi or sell for 9 years unless I repay the $5000 they gave me for closing costs. Read through your loan info and see what you can find out. It may be simpler to just call your loan officer. They should be able to help you out.
