The Fun and the Mentals of Real Estate

When should you refinance your mortgage? Break-even point explained | EP. 76


Listen Later

Wondering if now is the right time to refinance your mortgage? In Episode 76 of The Fun and the Mentals of Real Estate, hosts Angela Dillmon of Keller Williams Realty Chesterfield and Glen Calvin of Guild Mortgage break down everything you need to know about refinancing—especially how to calculate your break-even point and when it actually makes sense to move forward.

🎯 This isn’t just talk — it’s real math, real strategies, and real stories. From reducing your term, lowering PMI, to cash-out options for smart upgrades, Angela and Glen guide you through how to build wealth (not just reduce your rate).
They explain why not all "no-cost" refinances are created equal and what lenders really mean behind the fine print.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to calculate your refinancing break-even point

  • When a lower rate isn’t always the priority

  • Why loan amount matters when it comes to savings

  • How to get out of FHA or PMI the smart way

  • When refinancing is a wealth-building move — and when it’s not

  • How to avoid being sold into bad loan products
