Episode notes
Refinancing Break-Even Point
- Calculate the break-even point for refinancing by comparing interest savings with closing costs.
- Consider if you'll stay in the house long enough to recoup costs before refinancing.
Optimizing Refinancing
- If a refinance doesn't improve cash flow, maintain the current payment amount for faster payoff.
- Aim for over 1% interest rate savings when refinancing to offset costs and potentially get lender-paid premiums.
Umbrella Insurance
- Get umbrella insurance if you have assets to protect against liability beyond standard policies.
- It's inexpensive and covers household members, even those living elsewhere, like college students.
