Q&A: Can you refinance if you only have Social Security Income?

Question by micky: Can you refinance if you only have Social Security Income?
I only receive Social Security income plus about $ 400,00 a month from a person I rent a room to. Will a lender count this as income for refinancing purposes? I have excellent credit – no late mortgages and good cash reserves. I need to get rid of an adjustable mortgage.

You can if that income is judged to be sufficient by the lender. You’ll have to qualify for the loan regardless of income source.
