    I do think that you do a good job of explaining the pros of refinancing a home. The tips that you incorporate into this article are very useful and I do think that they will be quite helpful to me. However, you don’t mention the disadvantages of refinancing–fees, elongating the mortgage, and resetting the principal/interest ratio. I do think that these are equally important to take into account. I found this article that did a good job of including some possible cons/disadvantages here:
