Start with the use of the funds.
Home improvements, a major expense or debt consolidation each come with different tradeoffs. Compare the purpose with the long-term cost of financing it.
CASH-OUT REFINANCE
Thinking about using your equity? Understand how replacing your current mortgage could affect your balance, payment, and long-term borrowing costs.
MAKE ROOM FOR THE FULL COMPARISON
Payment. Costs. Time. Certainty.
Understand the tradeoffs together.
Home improvements, a major expense or debt consolidation each come with different tradeoffs. Compare the purpose with the long-term cost of financing it.
Review the rate and term on the full new balance, not only the cash you receive. Compare that with keeping your existing mortgage and considering a separate equity product.
A lower monthly payment can come from stretching debt over more years. Moving unsecured debt onto your home introduces a risk of foreclosure if you cannot repay.
Appraised value, current liens, loan limits, credit, income and program rules affect how much may be available. No cash amount or approval is promised.
Keep the assumptions consistent and see how a different amount, rate, or term changes the result.
