it's

for a current loan as any new or modified loans would have you paying out a higher interest rate...unless the bank/lenders REALLY love you.

it's based on the remaining balance....

I think

That you should shop for a better deal as the refinance rates are very favorable...if you are only borrowing on your loan 60% of the home's value you should get into the mid to high 2% range, 80% values in the high 3% range.

If you have signed paper work, 4.6% is your new rate...not so bad anyway!

The original loan doesn't exist any more. You've gotten a new one It will have a new duration as well. When you sign(ed) the closing, it should have had a closing form that explains your monthly payment, any escrowed payments, the duration, the interest rate, and the total cost of the loan.

should be for the balance of your loan but make sure your loan officer answers all of your questions

I think

Is this new rate fixed or variable? Does it lengthen the term of the loan?

Best make sure the lender explains it in detail to you and ask as many questions as you need to until you fully understand it. Do not go by what anyone on here tells you - only your lender can give you the correct answers

In most cases, it means what you own but can also mean additional charges for loan processing etc.

I depends on what kind of loan you got, is it a fixed rate or an adjustable rate? I would hope it's fixed. It applies to whatever your balance is and fees.

Loan as it is now I believe. Unless you're talking about a second mortgage.

It should apply to the balance of your loan at the time of refinancing

It depends upon what exactly you did. Whenever we amended our interest rate we had to take out a new loan. But if your existing loan was just modified, say rate was reduced from 6 to 4.6 I would say that rate will be from now. Banks don't give money back. So your old payments are history.

If you mean by this that you have just refinanced your loan to a lower rate then it is based upon what ever it currently is. Of course there will no doubt be fee's attached for the process but you have payed down the original amount and the current amount is what your refinancing.
