Question: I have a 15 yr adjustable home equity line, paying only minimum each month. Balance of $74,000. Loan began in October of 2005. Should I try to refinance this loan now to a fixed rate?
Answer: To be perfectly honest, I cannot tell you specifically whether or not you should refinance because I do not know all of the terms of your current home equity line oryour credit history.
But, I can tell you that applying cannot hurt to see if you can save. Bills.com makes it easy to compare mortgage offers and different loan types. Please visit the loan page and find a loan that meets your needs at:

If you can refinance the current
loan to a fixed rate loan with a lower interest rate without incurring penalties, you should strongly consider refinancing the loan. However, many home equity lines contain prepayment penalties if the line of credit is closed before end of the credit line term, so make sure you carefully review the terms of your home equity line before you move forward with
a refinance. If you are interested in a home refinance loan, I encourage you to visit the Bills.com Home Refinance Resources page at http://www.bills.com/home-refinance/
I hope this information will help you Find. Learn. Save.
Best,
Bill
