I started to refi with Citizens First last year to take advantage of the lower rates. they wanted closing costs of $17,000 to refi $300,000. To me, it was just legalized usury and we canceled the loan. Then they said they would lower the closing costs by $7,000 which kind of supported my opinion.

Plan to stay here another (fingers crossed) 25 years and with no one to leave my estate to, will just go with a Reverse Mortgage.
