I refinanced about four months after closing because rates dropped significantly. It was a bit of a headache with paperwork, but the monthly savings added up quickly. Definitely worth it in my case, but YMMV depending on your loan terms and fees involved...

Refinancing after just four months is pretty quick, but hey, if the math works out, why not? I've seen plenty of folks jump on rate drops early and come out ahead, even after factoring in the paperwork headaches. The key is always crunching those numbers carefully—fees can sneak up on you if you're not careful.

One client of mine refinanced twice within a year (yeah, seriously) because rates kept dropping. He joked that the title company knew him by name at that point. But he ended up saving a solid chunk each month, so it was worth the hassle.

Bottom line: refinancing early can definitely pay off if the savings outweigh the costs involved. Just make sure you're not refinancing so often that your paperwork becomes a full-time hobby...

I've seen people refinance early and come out ahead too, but just a heads-up—make sure your credit score is solid before jumping in again. Each refinance can ding your score a bit, especially if you're doing multiple within a short window. Not a huge deal usually, but something to keep an eye on if you're planning another big purchase soon. Still, if the math checks out, can't argue with saving money...even if it means becoming besties with your title company staff.
