What is refinancing?
Refinancing is the process of acquiring a new loan to pay off existing debt from loan proceeds using the same property as collateral.
Why refinance?
- To save money - Refinancing can save you money by reducing your monthly mortgage payments. To lower your interest rate and reduce the term of the loan.
- To convert an adjustable loan to a fixed loan - When mortgage rates are low, many people refinance to obtain the stability and security of a fixed loan.
- To consolidate debt and replace high-interest loans - Mortgage loans are tax deductible, whereas consumer loans are not. Debt consolidation offers tax savings for many people.
