    Just remember you're going to be adding 3-5k to your home loan for the closing cost

    If your mortgage is owned by Fannie or Freddie look into the HARP program. If not, you can avoid an appraisal with a streamlined refi. Streamlined refi is not eligible for the lowest rates on the market though so it really depends on your exact situation.

    Shop around for it. There wont be a negative effect on your credit score for inquiries made within the prior 30 days.

    You need the approval of whoever is on the account with you. A joint account means you both have an equal share, so both of you need sign off on it.

    You could do a cash in refi to cover any closing costs, but as a general rule if you shave 1 point off your interest rate you will make out big time over the course of the loan even with the added closing costs.

    OK, If you want off the mortgage then your dad needs to re-apply and get a mortgage that will pay off your current one.
