Questions

Refinance FAQ

When does refinancing make sense?

Refinancing may make sense when the payment, term, cash-out benefit, or overall loan structure is worth the cost. A refinance review should compare current loan terms, estimated closing costs, and how long you expect to keep the property.

What is the difference between rate-and-term and cash-out refinance?

A rate-and-term refinance focuses on changing the rate, term, or loan structure. A cash-out refinance increases the loan balance to access available equity, subject to program limits and qualification.

How do closing costs affect refinance savings?

Closing costs reduce the net benefit of refinancing. A break-even review helps compare monthly savings or strategic benefits against estimated costs and lender guidelines.
