Should I refinance with rates so high?

It all comes down to savings. "Mortgage Money" is still the cheapest of any borrowed money when it comes to long term affordability. Inflation has had a similar effect on every piece of the economy including credit cards, rent, car loans, personal loans and student loans to name a few. Mortgage rates may be higher than historic lows but if we compare that to the 20-30% interest on a fully adjustable credit card there may be a case to refinance. I can send you a spreadsheet on your average cost of existing + new debt and see if the math makes sense.

Should I Purchase with rates so high?

In many areas, rents are the highest they have ever been and often contractually go up 10-15% yearly so locking in a payment for 15 or 30 years makes sense. We do a 6 month savings check after we fund to see if market rates have improved to possibly refinance.

Should I get a 1st or 2nd loan on a refinance?

That 100% depends on your situation, If you are getting a small amount and your existing 1st is a great rate, 2nd loan will most likely be our game plan. If you have a lot of CC debt to consolidate, adjustable rate, car or student loan with large payment we may just pick a good ol' fashioned 30 year fixed. All government and non conforming loans over $766,500 require a human to quote.
