Refinance

A Few Good Scenarios

Another reason to refinance is to use the equity in your home – perhaps for a major purchase or a child’s education. You’ve been building equity in your home since you first started making monthly mortgage payments. Part of your payment was used to pay principal - helping you build equity - and the rest was used to pay such items as interest and taxes and insurance.

Often referred to as a "cash-out" refinance, drawing on the equity in your home provides an easy way to get cash you may need for other purposes.
