Bad Credit Refinance
An adjustable rate loan is often taken on by people with bad credit. If your situation has improved since you closed your first loan and you believe you can qualify for a fixed rate loan, or if you desperately want a lower adjustable rate cap, refinancing can help you. Refinancing to a fixed loan will give you the security of know exactly what your monthly payments will be for the life of your loan, and a low rate cap will give you the knowledge that your adjustable rate will not climb too high. Refinancing may get you a loan with the security that you did not obtain the first time around.

Home Equity
Home equity is the amount of the value of your home that you own, meaning what you have already paid for. This amount can be calculated by subtracting your mortgage from the total market value of your home. For example a house worth $180,000 with a $100,000 mortgage has an equity of $80,000. Generally, lenders will allow a homeowner to borrow 80-85% of their home equity. Fill out our short form to contact lenders about your home equity loan.

Mortgage Calc
The numbers determined by a mortgage calc should be considered estimates and should be used as a tool in preparation for obtaining a loan, not as a primary resource for the repayment of your loan. Lenders will provide information on the amortization of your loan. Small discrepancies between the information given by a mortgage calc and that given by a lender can often be attributed to the differences in how fractions of a penny are processed by both parties. Research and planning can help you find the mortgage that really suits you. Apply online to contact lenders about your mortgage or use our mortgage calc to find out more about your mortgage terms.

Mortgage Refiancing
It is also possible to refinance your home loan for a higher amount than the previous mortgage, leaving you with money left over. This is called cash-out refinancing. When cash-out refinancing the amount of money borrowed above what is owed in the first mortgage is borrowed against home equity. Home equity is the value of your house that remains after the current mortgage is subtracted from the current market value of the home. Lenders will often let homeowners borrow up 85% of this equity in addition to the amount of the original mortgage.

Refinancing Your Home
Also, if you are refinancing to change terms or to take cash out to cover a major purchase and are not as concerned about your rate, money down can be exchanged for an increased interest rate. Generally this is when a homeowner pays, or does not pay, the points that can affect the loan’s interest rate. One point is the same as one percent of the loan. On $100,000 loan, one point would be $1,000. Usually, each point unpaid adds 1/8 to ¼ of one percent to the interest rate. Depending on the borrower’s priorities, points may be paid or a higher interest rate may be taken. Borrowers should be careful of lenders offering refinancing that includes no points. This often means that higher interest rates are built in.
