jafridi··on Show HN: Mortgage Refinance Calculator
Interesting, yeah I think it makes sense to make the current balance field an input for situations like yours. Thanks for sharing!
jafridi··on Show HN: Mortgage Refinance Calculator
Hey guys,

I just built this refinance calculator after reviewing what's currently available. On thing I felt is missing from current refi calculators is an automated calculation of your remaining loan balance based on your original terms and the month/year you took out the loan (assuming you've stuck to scheduled payments). It's also mobile friendly.

Really interested in hearing feedback and what can be improved. Thanks!

We have a lot of in-house talent who wore many hats and helped out with production, but we also called in a few favors. It helps to do a little digging in your network to see who can bring specific technical talents or knowledge, or know somebody else who can.

A quick follow up: we just made a push to make the interview fully responsive and optimized for mobile. Would love to have you check it out and see what you think. Thanks!

Thanks very much for your constructive feedback. We are currently working on significantly improving the mobile experience. We are also improving our interview for customers looking to refinance (since we've been primarily focused on purchases) and will take your comment into account. Your suggestions were right on point. I hope you will give us another chance in the future. Thanks again.

Thanks for your comment. We're currently waiting on our CA license. Nonetheless, we're not taking mortgage applications or getting paid in any way in states where we're not licensed. There's nothing wrong with simply showing rates.

Very good point and currently in the works!

Interesting. This is something to look into further and possibly tweak, so thank you for the insight!

Care to share what you entered for debts or if you had any derogatory events in the past two years?

Thank you for catching this!

Ok yeah that makes sense. Thanks again for the comment. Let us know when you're looking to refi :)

Thanks!

Great feedback on making it easier to dismiss the popups.

You can actually change some of the main numbers when you hit the loan results page. Did you not see the expandable section near the top? If not, that's great feedback and we'll make it clearer.

Sorry you had to go through the hassle when you went through the process. The rates that you see on the site are 100% real, and we do our best to quote the most precise fees – however, fees do vary from area to area. We also don't charge a percentage of the loan amount, since it doesn't make much sense to charge more for a $300,000 loan than for a $100,000 loan. Also, as a result of our technology and automation, we're able to pass the savings on to customers.
