There are no true no cost loans. You always have to pay for title, escrow, appraisal, and prepaid interest. Some lenders will "credit" you these costs. If you are 60 years old, do you think you can afford a payment on a 10 year loan, then you have the home paid off and can retire. If not, stay with the lowest payment you can obtain, generally a 30 year loan. Contact a lender in your city and get pre-approved. If you like the terms, then you can move forward. If it doent make financial sense, you can cancel the loan at anytime before funding. Good luck

Welcome RMC,

Rates are still going low and if you want to take advantage of low rates, you will have to refinance the mortgage. Moreover, in order to refinance the mortgage, you should have equity in your property. As far as I can understand, you have equity in your property. So, you may get a refinance.

RMC - you should be able to refinance your loan with no out of pocket expenses, and no costs rolled into your loan. I'd be happy to work through some options with you. Good luck!
