currenlty am fairly close to having a 15 year payout anyways I am refinancing and my rate will be more than 1% lower with the 15 year. That's really the only reason i'm refinancing. I agree though I think its best to start out with a 30 year. I didn't feel like recasting my exisiting 15 year payout to another 30 years.


Can’t you do a 10? And yes you’re definitely on point about not starting over on a 30 year...don’t know why anyone would ever do this. Don’t care how much cheaper the monthly is..

I’m leaning towards a 30 over a 15 on a refinance even though I’m pretty sure I could swing the 15. With rates this low, I figure with even with modest stock market returns I’ll be better off in the long run investing my savings from the cheaper mortgage payment.

I'm not looking to increase our payments too much. I'm not in a huge rush to pay it off faster i just saw the opportunity in paying less in interest. I've been investing my extra so I'd rather keep that going then accelerate my house loan.
