- 3 months interest has been my experience. -- nm - Subversive - off to Ottawa Feb 7, 13:39 9

    - we'd be changing. - Reagen Feb 7, 13:44 7
      - Well, I saw your post below. $7k seems incredibly high. - Subversive - off to Ottawa Feb 7, 13:54 6

        Oh, that sucks. It's going to be hard to justify a change if the payout is that high. - Subversive - off to Ottawa Feb 7, 13:58
- Many mortgages (or maybe I should say some) have no penalty. At least around here. I mean, you are not breaking it, you are paying ot off early. -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 13:34
- a little over 1%. -- nm - nubby Feb 7, 13:26
- [deleted] 2
  - that's good to know - Reagen Feb 7, 13:18 1
    - The other thing to consider is how long it'll take you to recoup your closing costs and fees on the new mortgage. - Trish Feb 7, 13:45

      - This may be of some help -- (link) - mara Feb 7, 13:38
      - don't the re-fi companies assume that cost as part of getting your loan? - pigby Feb 7, 13:31 1
        
        some do some don't. I'm in the very preliminary stages of checking this out. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 13:43

    - Good job. Regardless, renting really is throwing money away. -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 13:35
    - I'm still gonna rent. -- nm - loosilu Feb 7, 13:26 1
      - renting is a great tax write off. -- nm - redmond Feb 7, 14:13
