What does Refinancing mean?
Homeowners may choose to refinance their mortgage for various reasons, including:
- Lower Current Interest Rate — This will decrease your mortgage payments
- Change Time Frame Of Loan — You can re-amortize your loan by increasing the time frame from 25 to 30 or vice versa.
- Change Loan Type — You may want to change from a variable rate to a fixed rate or vice versa.
- Obtain Access Home Equity — A homeowner can pay down their mortgage balance or home value increases, which results in build-up equity.
- For example, if a home is worth $500,000 and the homeowner owes $200,000 on the mortgage, they have $300,000 in equity.
- The homeowner can use the $300,000 for investments, have an emergency fund, use it towards home improvement, or use it towards child education.
