Refinancing

Paying off an existing loan with the proceeds from a new loan, usually of the same size, and using the same property as collateral.
In order to decide whether this is worthwhile, the savings in interest must be weighed against the fees associated with refinancing.
The difficult part of this calculation is predicting how much the up-front money would be worth when the savings are received. Other reasons to refinance include reducing the term of a longer mortgage, or switching between a fixed-rate and an adjustable-rate mortgage.
