Lower your rate, reduce your payments, or tap into your home equity. Discover how refinancing can work for you.
Refinancing replaces your current mortgage with a new one, potentially offering better terms. Whether you want to lower your monthly payment, pay off your loan faster, or access cash, there's a refinance option for you.
Rate-and-Term Refinance: Replace your current loan with one that has a lower interest rate, different term, or both. This is the most common type of refinance.
Cash-Out Refinance: Borrow more than you owe and receive the difference in cash. Great for home improvements, debt consolidation, or major expenses.
Streamline Refinance: Available for FHA and VA loans, these programs offer simplified refinancing with reduced documentation and no appraisal requirements.

Consider refinancing when interest rates drop 0.5-1% below your current rate, you want to change your loan term, or you need to access home equity. Also consider how long you plan to stay in the home.
Closing costs typically range from 2-5% of the loan amount. Some lenders offer no-closing-cost options, though these usually come with slightly higher rates.
Most lenders require at least 20% equity for a conventional refinance, though some programs allow less. For cash-out refinancing, you typically need to retain at least 20% equity after the transaction.
Applying for a refinance results in a hard inquiry on your credit, which may temporarily lower your score a few points. However, responsible management of your new loan will help your score recover.
