Mortgage Refinance Rate-Term vs. Cash-Out Mortgage Refinance
A rate-term Mortgage refinance has a home loan amount that is just enough to
re-pay the balance of your existing mortgage loan. The purpose of the Mortgage
refinance could be to reduce your mortgage interest rate, adjust your home loan
term, or both. Cash-out Mortgage refinancing, has a home loan amount that exceeds
the current mortgage balance. The higher loan amount converts some of your home
equity into cash that you receive at loan closing.
Home Equity Loan and Home Equity Line of Credit
A home equity loan has a fixed interest rate and term, your payment is the same every month. A home equity line of credit has a variable interest rate with a draw period of 10 years and a repayment period of 15 or 30 years. During the draw period, your monthly payment may be as low as the interest on your outstanding balance.
Home equity loans offer terms between five and 30 years. Home equity lines of credit can be drawn on for 10 years.
Mortgage Calculator
Mortgage calculators are often one of the first steps in the Mortgage refinance
process. Use a Mortgage calculator to determine the Mortgage amount you can afford
and the monthly mortgage payment. If you'd like to qualify for a larger Mortgage
when refinancing, then use our Mortgage calculator and consider an adjustable
rate Mortgage. An adjustable rate mortgage has a lower interest rate than a fixed
rate Mortgage. The lower interest rate will allow you to qualify to borrow more
money, for the same monthly mortgage payment.
