Refinance Loans
A
Refinance Loan is simply taking out a new mortgage
loan. If you are considering a home
loan refinance, the first steps are to determine your short and long term
goals and then to evaluate the different types of home refinance loan
programs available.
The primary reasons
for considering a refinance are the following:
1-
Lower
current
interest rate and create cash flow
2- Convert ARM to a permanent
fixed interest rate
3- Convert fixed interest rate
into a ARM
4- Turn equity into cash
5- Convert to a shorter term to
pay off the loan more quickly
6- Eliminate Mortgage Insurance
(MI)
The primary advantage of home mortgage loans is that the
interest costs are deductible for tax purposes. If you are currently
paying a higher rate of interest on credit cards, car loans, or other forms of debt that
are not deductible, it may make sense to pull the cash out of your home (provided that you
have the equity) and use it to pay off those other debts.
Lenders will typically allow you to borrow up to 75% of the appraised value of your home
in a cash out refinance. (Some lenders will go up to 80%, however the loans offered will
be less competitive than at 75%.) Paying off other bills or credit cards, buying a new
car, sending the kids to college, investing in an Internet start-up, or buying additional
real estate are all good reasons to refinance your home and take cash out.
Even if you're able to keep you credit card interest rate at 8-9% with low introductory
offers, when you consider the tax savings of your mortgage interest, you will be paying
less interest if those balances were part of your mortgage instead. If you are paying 8%
on your mortgage and your tax bracket is 33%, your net interest rate is 5.3% which is
still less expensive than any credit card program over time.
