What is home
refinancing or mortgage refinancing?
Mortgage Refinancing or home refinancing refers to applying
for a secured loan intended to replace an existing
loan secured by the same collateral or assets.
• Should you refinance your existing mortgage?
• Will you save by refinancing your mortgage?
The goal of mortgage refinance is to reduce interest
rate and monthly payments. Typically home refinancing
is done when you have a mortgage on your home and
apply for a second loan to pay off the first one.
It is important to first determine whether the amount
you save on interests balances the amount of fees
payable during refinancing.
If you purchased your home when interest rates were
high or if you have an adjustable rate mortgage, chances
are refinancing at a lower interest rate and term
may be able to save you money immediately and over
the course of your loan. Lenders will typically allow
you to borrow up to 75% of the appraised value of
your home in a cash-out refinance.
