Steps In Refinancing An Owner-Occupant Primary Home

What are Steps In Refinancing An Owner-Occupant Primary Home

In this paragraph, we will be talking about the steps in refinancing an owner-occupant primary residence.

Step 1:

Step 2:

  • Have a one-on-one consultation about your refinance goals
  • Every refinance is different
  • Some clients would like to take cash out, someone to lower their term and pay the loan off sooner, some clients are interested in an FHA STREAMLINE or VA IRRRL transaction
  • We offer a wide range of refinance opportunities

Step 3:

  • After your one-on-one consultation, you will be emailed an application link and documents required to start the refinance process
  • Those documents include a current mortgage statement, homeowners’ insurance declarations page (or contact information for your agent), the last two years of W-2’s (some clients will require two years of tax returns), last 30 days’ worth of pay stubs, and a government-issued photo ID
  • In some cases, you will need to provide your last two bank statements (all pages)

Step 4:

  • Complete the online application and send in the documentation above

Step 5:

  • Once we receive your signed loan disclosures, we will then order the appraisal and title work
  • Then send your file to the underwriter
  • During the underwriting process, the appraiser will come to your home and complete the inspection
  • At this time the loan PROCESSOR will order all required verifications

Step 6:

  • Underwriter issues CONDITIONAL APPROVAL
  • This will include what documents are needed from you to close your loan
  • You will be sent a list of items to send in

Step 7:

  • We now have all documents from you, appraisal, and title work, we will send the file back to the underwriter and issue the CLEAR TO CLOSE

Step 8:

  • Close on your refinance. In most states, a mobile notary will come to your home (or meet you somewhere), in other states you will go to a title company
  • You will sign the loan documents and now start the three-business day clock to fund
  • This waiting period is called the “right to rescission” period

Step 9:

  • After the three business days “right to rescission” period, your loan will fund, and the transaction is complete
  • CONGRATULATIONS! 
  • What is the right to rescind? 

What Is The Right Of Rescission On Refinances

Now we will talk about the right to rescind after signing your closing documents.

  • Keep in mind there is no right to rescind for a purchase transaction, this only pertains to refinance transactions
  • The right to rescind gives the consumer the right to cancel the refinance transaction before the loan funds

Right Of Rescission Timeframe

The 3-day clock starts after ALL of the following events have occurred:

  • You sign all required closing documents including Promissory Note
  • You received your Closing Disclosure 
  • You received two notices explaining your right to rescind

The three-day clock starts the first business day after these items are received. Typically, these items are all received during the signing of the refinance documents. Business days in the mortgage industry are considered all days except Sundays and federal holidays. Saturdays do count as a business day. If the third day lands on a Saturday, your loan will not fun until the following Monday.

However, you must rescind before midnight on that Saturday to cancel the transaction.

  • If you want to rescind, you must use the form provided in the closing documents
  • Make sure it is mailed or delivered before the third business day
  • We recommend that you keep a copy of delivered letter and delivery time frame
  • For more information, please visit the CFPB WEBSITE
  • These laws were put in place by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to ensure borrowers are making an informed decision
  • Once again, the right to rescission time frame only pertains to refinance transactions, home equity loans, or home equity lines of credit on a primary residence

The three-day clock does not apply to a second home or an investment property.
