Understanding “The 2:1 Rule”
Refinancing carries upfront fees. Here is our plain-English checklist to verify if paying closing costs represents a positive long-term investment.
Calculate the Rate Spread
Does the target rate represent a drop of at least 0.50% to 0.75%? This threshold generates the required room to quickly offset standard origination costs.
Confirm Your Tenure
Do you plan to keep the home for at least 2 years after refinancing? The '2:1' rule dictates that savings should fully pay back origination costs within 24 months.
Audit the Real Closing Costs
Many banks promote 'zero-cost' refis, which actually roll higher rates into your principal. Kwalifai guarantees transparent closing fees with zero hidden markups.
