All About Cash Out Refinance 

Cash Out Refinancing basically replaces your current mortgage with a new home mortgage. You can access the difference between the two loans (the new one and current one) in cash. The amount of the cash you can access is based on the value of the house you own. The money can either be used for remodeling the house, consolidating interest debts and other financial needs.

Who is Eligible for Cash Out Refinance?  

Eligibility for a cash-out refinance typically depends on several factors. Here are some general eligibility criteria for cash-out refinancing:

• Sufficient Home Equity: Lenders typically require that you leave at least 20% equity in your home.
• Creditworthiness: A higher credit score improves loan terms and approval chances.  
• Debt-to-Income Ratio: Most lenders prefer a DTI below 50%, but flexibility exists.  
• Stable Income: Proof of a steady income source is essential.  
• Appraisal: A professional home appraisal determines the maximum cash-out amount.  
• Loan-to-Value Ratio: Lenders often set maximum LTV ratios which is the percentage of the value of your home that you can access.  
• Mortgage Payment History: A positive history with no recent late payments is preferred.  
• Use of Funds: Lenders may inquire about the purpose of the refinance.   

What are the benefits of Cash Out Refinance?

• Access to Cash: You can tap into your home's equity and receive a lump sum of cash, which can be used for various purposes.  
• Debt Consolidation: You can consolidate high-interest debts, like personal loans or credit card balances, into a single, lower-interest mortgage payment.  
• Enhanced Credit Score: By paying off high-interest debts, you may improve your credit score over time.  
• Simplify Finances: Combining multiple high-interest debts into a single mortgage payment streamlines your financial obligations.
