who is quoting you 6.625%? that is HIGH.
i’m sure if you shopped around you will get 6.25%, and your decision WILL BE TO refinance with 1 mortgage at 6.25%.
from your other question it looks like you will be under 80% LTV…so you wont have any PMI payments
Maybe we should send you a bill for the finacial advice.
It sounds like consolidating at 6.25 for 30 years will be the best deal to me – lowest interest rate, your consolidating both loans without PMI, right? Sounds like a good way to go.
I might suggest ignoring the term of the loan and telling the bank you want to make your monthly payment the same as it currently is. It seems like you’d be cutting your rate on both loans with a rate of 6.25, right? so paying the same amount monthly may allow you to pay your entire mortgage off in fewer years. That seems like the best route to me!
Definitely consolidate the two. With the home being appraised at 300k, and your new mortgage at 237k-240k, depending on if you roll your closing costs in, you’ll be under 80% loan to value (have 20% equity) and won’t need to pay the pmi.
You’ll save a great deal of money and gain piece of mind knowing that you only have one payment to make on a monthly basis. If you’re in FL, check out our website at http://www.achievablemortgages.com and give us a call for a quote if you’d like.
Good luck.
