Refinance With NHSSF

What is refinancing?

Refinancing replaces your existing mortgage loan with a new loan that may allow you to change your mortgage's terms and/or interest rate, or draw out cash from the equity in your home. Refinancing gives you the opportunity to bring down your mortgage payments whenever it’s possible.

Refinancing is a lot like applying for a mortgage. But, some steps do not have to be carried out, such as the inspection of the property. In some cases, there is no need to do a new appraisal or even get a home insurance policy.

After the due application process, in a couple of days, we responded to her request and sent her way the rest of the funding to stabilize her dire housing situation. Here is her dramatic story that we share with you to raise awareness of the efficacy of these programs aimed to help those in need.
