What is your goal? If it's about reducing your monthly payments then it would seem like a good idea.

You can get 30 yr fixed rate at 2.5% or less for primary and at around 3% for investment property. Crunch the numbers and see what make sense to you.

Curious about 3% for investment also. I plan to refinance and I'm getting ~4% for rental. I'm told this is the best deal out there. I'm in Dallas if it matters.

I just bought rental properties financing them at 3.125% with 1 point. Depending on the loan amount, if they're low (<$100K for example) you may get a higher rate like 4%. Check around, they're out there.

You have to do the math, then consider your savings and the fees involved, and how long you plan to keep them. At 4% and planning to sell ours in less than 2 years, for us it's not worth the bother to save just $200+/month. Over many years, though, that would add up and your payments are probably a lot more than ours on just a house.
