Hi Ed,

You can refinance both the loans now and convert them into one single loan. This will also help you in saving over the life of the mortgage. Check out the given calculator to calculate the time period over which the interest savings will help you offset the closing costs:

After a year, you can take another HELOC if you have equity in your property. At that time you do not need to refinance your first loan.

Hi James, I just found out yesterday that if a mortgage is refinance in Texas and falls under Texas A6 (we called it here cash out home equity loan) then a HELOC cannot be open at all until the loan is paid. The only way an equity can be taken from the home is to avail for another A6 loan. I will still refinance at rate I locked-in for 4.25% 10 yr fixed rate and take extra cash and put it in an annuity account w/ guaranteed 5% rate for 10 years and over 10 years my compounding annuity interest will pretty much cover my loan interest. My loan become a interest free loan after all and thanks to my wealth management adviser.
