A refinance is when you’re going to work with either your bank or a mortgage loan originator. When you originally get a loan, they’re going to be able to borrow money. And what they’ll do is give you $100,000 and then they might charge you an interest rate. That interest rate might be at a 5%. That means 5% of the loan amount each year’s paid is what they call it interest. 

 

Example of Refinance

 

So when you refinance a property, you can either rate in term and lower that rate. You might go from 5% to 4-3%, or you can cash out. You can cash out base upon equity. Equity is either build up through the pay down of your principal from each mortgage amount that you pay it down or from the value of your home and what they’ll let you do is typically borrow up to an LTV, which is a loan to value. If your property is worth a million dollars and they do a loan to value of 80%, you can borrow up to 80%, that means $800,000, so refinance is typically either to lower your rate or to cash out.
