How can I turn my home equity into cash?
A cash-out refinance is a loan at a balance higher than your current mortgage that pays off your mortgage and gives you the additional amount in cash. The cash is from the equity you’ve built in the home and becomes a great way to pay for home improvements, consolidate debt or make a large purchase.
A cash-out refinance and home equity loan are similar because they both
allow you to borrow from your equity. The major difference is that a
home equity loan does not pay off your first mortgage but rather gives
you just the cash you need that is repaid along with your mortgage.
Benefits of cash-out refinancing
Borrowing against the equity you've built in your home is usually cheaper than borrowing an amount on credit cards or opening a personal loan. You can also reduce your monthly mortgage payments by spreading out your loan over a longer period of time, depending on the new interest rate and the loan balance. In addition, the interest is tax-deductible.
Save Money with Lower Rates
Refinancing now may give you a lower monthly payment if rates have fallen since you took out your current mortgage. This also depends on the cost of taking out a new loan, how long you plan to stay in your home and how much less you will be paying each month.
Lower your Monthly Payments
You can also lower your monthly payments by lengthening the term of your loan. The drawback to this approach is that you will be repaying your mortgage principal over a longer period of time so you will also be paying back more interest. Overall, this could increase the amount of money you actually pay back on your mortgage.
Pay Less Interest
You can reduce the total amount of interest you pay by shortening the term of your loan. Fewer monthly payments will require less interest to repay and each payment will reduce the balance by a larger amount. The interest charges will decrease along with the balance. You will also build equity faster, meaning that you’ll have a growing source of wealth to borrow from if needed.
Avoid Rate Increases by refinancing your ARM
If rates have a potential to increase, refinance your adjustable-rate mortgage to avoid higher payments.
Refinancing with a fixed-rate mortgage
Replace your ARM with a fixed-rate mortgage if you plan to stay in your home long term and don’t want to worry about fluctuating interest rates. This allows you to have predictable payments throughout the loan term.
Refinancing with another ARM
If you plan to move within the next several years, you may want to consider replacing your current ARM with a new one. In most cases an ARM will start off with a lower interest rate than what you'd get on a fixed-rate loan, and that rate can stay fixed for anywhere from three months to 10 years. Depending on how long you intend to stay in your home, you can choose an ARM that isn't scheduled to adjust until after you plan to move.
