Access Your Home’s Equity with a Cash-Out Refinance

A cash-out refinance lets you replace your existing mortgage with a new, larger loan, giving you the option to receive the difference as a lump sum of cash. This is a powerful way to tap into your home’s equity while potentially securing a new interest rate or loan term for the entire balance. Many homeowners use cash-out refinancing for purposes like consolidating high-interest debt, funding home improvements, or covering other major expenses.

Here’s how it works: You start with your existing mortgage and calculate your home equity—the difference between your home’s current value and what you still owe. Then, you apply for a new mortgage that pays off your old loan and provides the cash you need at closing. Afterward, you’ll make payments on the new loan, which may have different terms and a higher monthly payment depending on the amount borrowed.



While cash-out refinancing can provide flexibility and financial relief, it’s important to consider the increased mortgage balance and payments, closing costs, and lender requirements.
