What Is Refinancing?

Common Reasons to Refinance:

  • Lower your interest rate to reduce monthly mortgage payments
  • Change your loan term (e.g., from 30 years to 15 years)
  • Switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate loan.
  • Cash-out refinance: tap into home equity for cash or to buy a second property or to remodel.
  • Consolidate debt pay off credit cards and cars using your home’s equity.
