REFINANCING OPTIONS

Consolidate Debt/Cash-Out  – A cash-out refinance replaces your current home loan with a new mortgage for more than you currently owe.  You may withdraw the difference between the two home loans in cash to use the money for debt consolidation, remodeling, or other financial goals.

If you need to free up money in your monthly budget, refinancing with a lower interest rate or extending your term can lower your monthly mortgage payment.  The lowered payment allows for more immediate needs.

Refinancing from an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed rate mortgage is a strategy you may use is you’re concerned about the prospect of rising interest rates.   Before refinancing to a fixed rate loan, you will want to take into consideration if your home is a forever home or how long you plan to stay in your house.
