Is Refinancing Right for You?

There are many different options when it comes to refinancing. From fixed rate to cash-out for farmers, Rural 1st can work with you to determine the best fit for you and your family.

Use our refinance calculator to see if refinancing makes sense for you.

Get Started

See how much you could save

We make refinancing to a fixed rate loan simple.

Rural 1st was founded on securing the future of rural communities. As the leader in rural lending, we pride ourselves in serving you throughout the life of your loan. There are many reasons to refinance, from monthly savings to reducing interest.

Fixed rate financing

A consistent monthly payment can help you set a budget, and your payments won’t go up regardless of market conditions. If a lower rate becomes available, you can convert your loan through our Conversion Program annually (or every 12 months) for a small conversion fee*.

Adjust the term of your current mortgage

Depending on your needs, we can help shorten or extend your mortgage. Adjusting the life of your loan term gives you maximum flexibility to grow equity or reduce monthly payments.

A shorter loan term will have a higher monthly payment, but less interest over the life of the loan

This calculator is based on the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) being fixed to maturity. Down payment requirements apply. Additional loan fees may apply. Example of monthly payment provided assumes that any taxes, insurance or points to be paid at closing are not financed into the loan amount. The information provided by this calculator is for illustrative purposes only, and Rural 1st does not guarantee any of the information obtained by this calculator. All loans are subject to credit approval and eligibility requirements. This calculator cannot prequalify you for a loan, and qualification requires additional information.

*Monthly payment is based on principal and interest payment only, and if the loan requires or has an escrow account for taxes and insurance, the payment amount will be higher.
