Refinancing w/ a First-Time Home Buyer Loan...is it worth it?

I believe that if I refinance our home, we would have to "pay" the first time homeowners grant back. It's something like $7k for 15yrs (starts to go down at year 10). Here's some info:

Loan: 189,1k

Rate: 4.75%

Term: 30yr

Type: Conventional

Year purchased: 2017

First time homeowners grant: $5.6k (180mo loan)

Monthly: $1475 with PMI, Escrow; $987 principal & interest

Location: Charlotte Area, NC

I've briefly looked into refinancing already with couple of companies but backed out because I have no clue if it's worth going through. I know I can very likely get a rate under 3.75% but wanted to know if anyone else has done this before?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence".

Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
