Cash-out refinancing allows homeowners to tap into the equity they've built up in their property. It works by replacing your current mortgage with a new one, often at a higher amount. The difference between the old loan balance and the new loan amount is “cashed out” to you as a lump sum, which can then be used for various purposes.

What is a Mortgage Refinance?

Mortgage refinancing involves replacing your current mortgage with a new one, typically under different terms. Homeowners might refinance to secure a lower interest rate, adjust the length of the loan term, or switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage. Another common reason for refinancing is to access some of the home equity that has built up over time, which can be done through a few different methods.
