Any way to REFI for free?

I have a decent rate from 5 years ago, but would like to lock in under 4% before the Fed raises. Is there any solution to take advantage of this with little or no out of pocket costs? I don't mind an appraisal or points, but I think it's silly to pay $5k in closing.
If it's any help, Quicken currently holds the note and I have a lot of equity in the property.

What did want to charge you? $5k?

Do you work for free? Honest question because why on earth would you expect someone else to?
Contact your current lender and ask about fast track refis. Those are usually the most cost effective.

Ha. Yes, sometimes I work for free, but I'm not really looking for a handout. Just reduced fees for reduced work, especially if staying with same lender.

I think they can roll the costs into the new mortgage?

Why would the initial lender help you pay them less money.?
You’d need to contact a new lender and hope they need the loan. You can try taking that refi quote to your additional lender and see if they will make you a better offer

No one you know owns the company and will do your loan for free. Get that out of your head. A significant portion of your closing costs are tax deductible which can offset the cost. Between it and the first 24-36 months being almost entirely interest payments, there are even more tax benefits there.
On top of all of that you’ll save money if you can reduce your rate enough from where you are to where you may be able to put your rate at.
Whining about not getting something that can save you tens of thousands over a decade without paying the cost of a shitty jalopy of a used car tells me you’re either being unreasonable about your expectations about the costs associated with the process...or you’re simply uninformed about all of the ways the initial up front costs are offset and/or leveraged to your financial benefit.
Which tells me you don’t have a good relationship with a savvy mortgage broker. Which should tell you that you need to change that if you’re serious about this.

There are both options out there, no out of pocket costs and true no cost refinance.
The latter will be a slightly higher rate.
