Mortgage borrowers collectively hold more equity in their homes now than at any other time on record! If you have a lot of equity in your home and need extra cash, want to make home improvements or pay off high-interest rate debt – a cash-out refinance is one option available to you.
Refinancing means paying off your existing mortgage and replacing it with a new one. It’s a good strategy if you can lower your interest rate, shorten the term of your loan or tap into your home’s equity to get a large sum of money.
However, mortgage interest rates are climbing. If you have a fixed rate mortgage that is under 4.5% a home equity loan may be more beneficial for you.
A home equity loan, also known as a second mortgage, lets you tap into the equity of your home without impacting your low rate first mortgage.
