ReFi

ReFi makes calculating refinances a "piece of cake!"  With ReFi you can eliminate all the other tools you normally use to estimate refinances.  And, you can carry around all of your customer files.

Tap on your hand held’s Application’s Launcher symbol.  You will see program icons on the screen. Click on the “ReFi” icon and you are taken to the program.  To determine closing costs, follow the directions for “GFE”.  When finished, tap on the “ReFi Details” button. You may now select whether you want to include the closing costs within the loan.
In the figure above, the check box has been checked to put the closing costs within the loan.  Note that the “Total Mortgage” amount has increased when compared to the previous figure.. Also note on ReFi: Page 1 that there are spaces to enter Mortgage Pay-Offs.  In this example the borrower just has a first mortgage and its pay off is $67,527.  Enter this number and tap the “Calc” button.  Tap the “Next” button. ReFi: Page 2 is used to document Credit Pay-offs and these items must be paid off prior to, from the refinance, or subordinated to the refinance.  This form may also be used to list credit card and other debts being paid off through a cash out refinance.
ReFi: Page 3 is used to manage cash out refinances and determines the amount of cash available to the borrower.  Note that this form provides the LTV and a note concerning potential lender restrictions on cash out refinances. If the mortgage is not a cash out refinance ReFi determines the excess funds.  Lenders have strict limitations on excess funds on rate and term refinances, so this loan would require restructuring. ReFi: Page 4 is used to document the old and new mortgage payments.  Figure 6-9 shows the payments calculated by ReFi for the new mortgage payment: P&I and PMI..
Next, using the borrowers old loan documents, fill in the “Old” payments.  Tap the “Calc” button. When the “Calc” button is tapped existing monthly taxes, insurance, and HOA fees are moved to the new mortgage.  The old and the new mortgages are also totaled.  Tap on the “Next” button. ReFi: Page 5 gives the monthly totals for the old and new mortgages, and the difference.  ReFi also totals all of the associated mortgage costs, and provides the “break- even point” for this refinance.  When completed, tap on the “Done” button.  After tapping “Done” you may save your refinance scenario to the Palm Memo Pad.
