I want to go to my bank and see if I can get my mortgage re-financed. I need a lower payment since I retired last year!
Not too savvy on finances; I'm a simple soul and don't require much but I'd like to keep my condo, even though it's up and down stairs. Prices have come down so much that I have very little equity. I bought when prices were on the rise but got it in time before they went through the roof. Then, prices dropped dramatically and stayed pretty much down.
If I could get my mortgage payments down, I'd be ok by being very careful. I don't think a reverse mortgage is for me. My credit is good. I have no other loans, zero credit card balance but I am still paying a small monthly amount on a hospital bill of about 1300.00. What else do they look for? Would I be a good candidate for re-financing, would anyone know?
Thank you for any comments.
