*Disclaimer: If you refinance an existing mortgage, the total charges could become higher over the life of your loan.
At Crown Mortgage of the West, we offer adjustable rate, fixed-rate (15-year and 30-year). We also offer conventional FHA, VA, and refinancing options with competitive rates.
HELOCs, or home equity lines of credit (home equity loans) are usually second mortgages. The idea is that, in addition to the main mortgage you have on your home, you’ll take out a second loan.
This makes the home equity line of credit a second lien on your property.
Important: a cash-out refinance is a new first mortgage, not a second loan, and therein lies the difference. HELOCs can be seen as riskier since you’re taking on an additional loan.
Your home equity is the (appraised) value of your house, minus the amount you owe.
If you have more home equity, you’ll get more money from a cash-out refinance. Many homeowners like you take money out to pay off debts with high interests (such as credit card debts) or to make much-needed home improvements.
You can get the accurate cash-out amount by subtracting the balance of your old home loan from the amount of your new mortgage.*
*Certain other factors, such as the type of loan you get, applicable fees, and your equity, can affect the final amount.
The fees required for getting a new mortgage can often be added to the overall refinance amount to avoid paying out of pocket at the closing.
Keep in mind that refinancing to get cash out could result in a higher rate or a longer loan term, which could lead to paying more in interest long-term.
