Make the home you have work better.
Refinancing replaces your current mortgage with a new one. People refinance to change their rate or the length of their loan, to switch from an adjustable rate to a fixed one, or to move from an FHA loan to a conventional loan without mortgage insurance.
A cash-out refinance lets you borrow against your equity in the same new loan. Vadim runs the numbers with you, including closing costs and how long it takes to break even, before you decide.
Four things to know about refinancing.
- 01
Closing costs apply
A refinance has closing costs, much like a purchase. They can often be paid in cash or added to the loan.
- 02
The break-even point
Divide the costs by the monthly savings to see how long the refinance takes to pay for itself.
- 03
Cash out for big plans
Pay off high-interest debt, renovate, or fund a large expense.
- 04
Switch loan types
Move from adjustable to fixed, or from FHA to conventional once you have enough equity.
