Cash-Out Refinance on Your Home Equity Appreciation
This article was originally published by Anthony Duval on Bluefire Mortgage
A cash-out refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new larger one, so you can use the money however you want 😉🏡
In other words, this type of loan essentially turns home equity into cash.
A Cash-Out Refinance lets you access your home equity through a first mortgage instead of through a second mortgage, like a home equity loan or line of credit. Typically you will need to have 10% to 20% equity left after the refinance. The percentage required varies by lender and whether you’re willing to pay for private mortgage insurance (PMI) on the new loan.
Benefits of a Cash-Out Refinance
- It allows you to borrow a lot of money at a low interest rate
- Your mortgage interest may be tax deductible
- Your new mortgage may have a lower interest rate than your current mortgage
- You can use the cash however you want
- It can help eliminate high-interest debt, pay for college or make your home nicer
- Any cash you put toward repairs and improvements could increase your home’s value even more.
