Choose from a cash-out or streamlined refinance, depending on your financial goals.
Cash-Out Refinance
How it works: A cash-out refinance converts your home's equity into accessible funds while refinancing your mortgage. You'll replace your current mortgage with a larger loan, receiving the difference in cash while potentially securing a better rate than high-interest alternatives.
Ideal for: Homeowners needing funds for major expenses like renovations, education costs, or debt consolidation.
Streamline Refinance
How it works: A streamlined refinance offers a faster path to a lower interest rate on your existing mortgage with minimal documentation and often no appraisal required. This option typically features reduced closing costs and processing time.
Ideal for: Homeowners with a good payment history seeking a lower interest rate without cash withdrawal.
Frequently Asked Questions About Refinancing Your Mortgage
How soon can you refinance a home loan after purchasing your home?
This typically depends on your lender and your loan type. You can normally refinance for conventional loans immediately after closing, though some lenders require a waiting period. Government-backed loans have specific timeframes: FHA loans require 7 months of payments, VA loans require 6 months, and USDA loans require 12 months.
When should you refinance your home loan?
Refinancing makes sense when you can lower your interest rate by at least 0.5-1%, significantly reducing your monthly payment. It's also worth considering if you need to switch from an adjustable to a fixed rate, want to tap equity, or can shorten your loan term without drastically increasing payments. Just ensure you'll stay in the home long enough to recoup closing costs that come as part of refinancing. Learn more.
