Can I lower the interest rate on my mortgage short refinancing?

I am considering refinancing, but I am not really too sure yet. Is there any path that I could call my current lender and just negotiate a lower interest rate near them? This way I could possibly avoid all of the closing costs, etc that are associated next to refinancing. Has anyone had any luck with this?
Answers:
Yes you can! There is a website that allows you to search for a lower interest rate that may be available with your CURRENT edge.

The banks often won't update you that there is a better rate available with them...You can (and manifestly should) avoid the costs of refinancing if you can find a better rate with your current bank.

No you can not.. You have to refinance and draw up a current contract at the new rate
Yes you can... Yes you can. I have done this several times in last 20 years. Sometimes it cost me a short time paper work fee. but be easy done, and the bank be happy to do it with me. They know that I could just walk down the street and go and get another loan elsewhere if they did not work with me.

When I bought some of the units I be paying 14% int. and got them down to under 9% by the time they be paid off. Some even lower,

My edge at the time was OLD NATIONAL out of Evansville In.

I can't understand adjectives the no answers, It is just a simple rate adjustment, just approaching an ARM. duh? Source(s): Many properties owned over the years in rental business... Never late sometime on payments.
Very doubtful. The merely time they do this is for drastic situations or if there was a re-negotiating clause contained by your original loan agreement(yes, these do exist.). An example would be if you were going to failure to pay, they might do this to help you to avoid foreclosure.
Even though lenders have be known to do this it is very exceptional and you are most likely going to have to re-fi to grasp a lower rate.
no
Nope, what you are trying to do is essentially the same as refinancing.
No you can't
What you propose is called a mortgage modification. It can't hurt to ask. You would modify the note and the mortgage. There are some fees associated beside this, but not nearly as many as with a straight refinance. Worth a shot IMO.
My immediate response is: No
Some lenders will negotiate with you, especially if you let them know you'll be refinancing next to another company. What could it hurt to call up your mortage co. and ask?? If they say no, purely take your business someplace else.
ummmm...im going to jump with NO WAY!
No, a mortgage is not like a credit card. However, you can refinance your mortgage through your current lender, but here will be paperwork and fees.
Not unless you qualify beneath the voluntary subprime loan adjustment plan.
