Current mortgage rates are the lowest since Freddie Mac began tracking thirty-year mortgage rates in 1971 – great news for people thinking about buying a home or refinancing the one they already own.

The bad news for the general public? There is a lot of confusion surrounding the whole process of understanding points, down payments, loan applications and closing costs. Media headlines around the country point to an increase in ‘predatory lending’ practices – with hidden fees and all kinds of surprises at closing. In her new e-book, Refinance Secrets Revealed, Doris Dobkins tells readers how to:

·    Pay no closing costs
·    Ask the right questions
·    Find the right lender
·    Avoid costly mistakes
·    Conduct yourself with confidence
·    Avoid surprises at closing


In her book, Dobkins provides real solutions to anyone looking to have their lender pay closing costs and to save thousands of dollars per transaction. “People really need to take the time to understand the process, to understand points, down payments and closing costs,” Dobkins says. “I see it all the time. Homeowners refinance, pay thousands in closing costs, and then sell their home before they are able to recoup costs. Or worse yet, homeowners pay thousands in closing costs and points to lock in a great interest rate – 3 months later the rates drop.
