Trying to figure out the ins and outs of the USDA refinance. I have a 502 Direct loan at 4.5% 143K.
Refinance is to Gaurenteed Loan. After searching everyhting Im still confused as to how it works.
Does a regular lender, i.e. bank or credit union, finance it and the USDA just gaurentees.
There were alot of advantages to the Direct program that I can't see being available if I leave the Direct program.
The USDA Direct will adjust payments if income changes, 2yr moratorium if income falls to low or ill, etc.
Is 1-1.25% really worth it??
