What is Mortgage Refinancing?

Refinancing involves paying off your current mortgage with a new loan, typically with updated terms. The new loan may offer:

  • Lower interest rates
  • Shorter or longer repayment terms
  • Reduced monthly payments
  • Access to home equity (cash-out refinance)

Types of Mortgage Refinancing

 

Rate-and-Term Refinance

    • Goal: Lower your interest rate or adjust the loan term (e.g., switching from a 30-year to a 15-year mortgage).
    • Ideal for: Homeowners with improved credit or lower market rates

Cash-Out Refinance

    • Goal: Borrow more than your remaining mortgage balance to access cash (e.g., for home improvements, debt consolidation, or emergencies).
    • Ideal for: Tapping into home equity while refinancing.

Cash-In Refinance

    • Goal: Pay a lump sum to reduce your loan balance, often to eliminate PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) or qualify for better rates.

Streamline Refinance

    • Goal: Simplify refinancing with minimal documentation (common with FHA, VA, or USDA loans).

FHA/VA Refinance

    • Government-backed options to refinance existing FHA or VA loans with flexible terms.

Key Considerations Before Refinancing

01

Closing Costs

Expect fees for appraisal, origination, title search, and more (typically 2–5% of the loan amount).

Calculate the break-even point: How long it takes for monthly savings to outweigh upfront costs.

02

Loan Term

Extending your term may lower payments but increase total interest paid over time.

03

Equity Requirements

Most lenders require at least 20% equity for a conventional refinance (or 10% for FHA).

04

Credit Score Impact

Refinancing involves a hard credit inquiry, which may temporarily lower your score.

05

Prepayment Penalties

Check if your current loan penalizes early payoff.
