Refinancing in Four Years

  Can title fees and title insurance be waived if I am refinancing my home again within a four year period?

Thank you
 
  If you bought an owner's, or fee, title insurance policy to protect your own interests, that remains in force as long as you own the property.  But for the rest -- inquire first of your present lender.  My guess would be that anyone lending you on a new mortgage would want some assurance that no extra liens had been placed in the past four years, which would involve a title search, though perhaps a relatively inexpensive one.
