Common Questions
How does a cash-out refinance work?
The lender pays off your existing mortgage and creates a new loan based on your home’s value and available equity. You receive the remaining proceeds as cash or to be used to pay off higher interest rate debt.
Will I need money at closing for a cash out refinance?
No. Since the new loan will more than cover the old loan plus closing costs, you will not bring any money to closing. Plus, there will be a gap of 1 – 2 payments during the refinance process so you can keep 1 – 2 payments in your account.
Is a Home Equity Loan or HELOC better than a cash-out refinance of my first mortgage?
It depends on your goals. A Home Equity Loan or HELOC may make sense if you want to access equity while keeping a low interest rate on your existing first mortgage. A cash-out refinance may be beneficial in other situations. Comparing both options can help determine the best fit.
Does taking out Home Equity Loan or HELOC affect my first mortgage?
No. Your first mortgage remains in place with the same balance, payment, and interest rate. The second mortgage is a separate loan.
