Cash-out refinance

Turn equity into cash, the smart way

A cash-out refinance replaces your mortgage with a larger one. It works best when your current rate is at or above today's rates.

  • Conventional, FHA and VA cash-out
  • Fund renovations, tuition or investments

Overview

Cash-out refinance or second mortgage?

If your current rate is low, a cash-out refinance can raise the rate on your entire balance. In that case, a fixed second mortgage or HELOC usually costs less.

If your current rate is already high, a cash-out refinance can lower your rate and give you cash in one step. We'll compare both.

This is a good fit if you…

  • Have a current rate at or above today's rates
  • Have 20%+ equity
  • Want one payment instead of two
  • Have a large project or goal to fund

★★★★★Nelson and Danna did an outstanding job processing everything for my VA loan. They were very quick and responsive, and everything went much quicker than I expected. I was very happy with the rate and fees they were able to get for me.

★★★★★This is the 2nd time we have worked with them to buy a house… They helped us to ensure that we configured our mortgage the best way possible for our needs. They were in constant contact with us to make adjustments to get us the best deal possible.
