Refinancing usually requires a steady income and decent credit score. Unemployed borrowers will need a cosigner if they want to refinance.
Lenders can’t just change a student loan interest rate whenever they want. Rates can only go up or down if an index rate moves.
Refinancing student loans for a second or third time opens new doors for borrowers, but multiple refinance also has limitations.
Consolidation and refinancing can have temporary and long-lasting impacts on your credit report.
Federal student loans should not be refinanced right now, but private loans are a very different situation.
Tax-free student loan forgiveness sounds like a great deal, but there are times quickly paying off your student debt is the best approach.
Borrowers don’t have to combine all of their student loans when they refinance. In some cases, keeping a couple loans separate is a really smart idea.
Private consolidation of federal loans has major risks and major rewards. With no way to undo the decision, borrowers need to be certain they’re not making a mistake.
