Refinancing 101

If you’re new to refinancing, it simply means replacing your current mortgage with one that gives you better terms. There are two main types of refinancing. One is known as “cash-out” refinancing. The other is “rate and term” refinancing. Here’s a brief look at how both of them work.

• Cash-out refinancing – If you’ve ever heard of a home equity loan, a cash-out refinance is based on a similar principle. In a nutshell, it’s a way for you to borrow money based on how much equity you’ve already accumulated. The cash-out method of refinancing is basically a way to not only refinance your home, but to also borrow funds. You’re not limited in any way in regard to how you use those funds. You can pay for college, pay off some medical bills, remodel part of your home, or do anything else you want.
  

• Rate and term refinancing – This is more in line with a typical refinance. It can either change the rate of interest you’re paying, the length, or “term” or your mortgage, or both. The purpose is to find a rate and term that are more favorable to your specific financial needs.
  

Why Refinance?

There are a lot of reasons to consider refinancing your home. You already know it could reduce your interest rate, and in the process lower your mortgage payment each month. But you could also change the type of mortgage you’re paying – you might, for instance, want to switch from an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage, or do the opposite.

If you want, you could also switch from a 15-year mortgage to a 30-year mortgage to reduce your monthly payment. On the other hand, if your financial situation has changed for the better, and you can afford a higher payment yet want to stay in the same home, you could change from a 30-year to a 15-year mortgage.
