About

What Is a Cash-Out Refinance?

A Cash-Out Refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new, larger loan — giving you the difference in cash. Instead of getting a separate personal or home equity loan, you’re using your home’s built-up equity to access funds at a lower interest rate.
It’s one of the smartest ways to consolidate high-interest debt, finance renovations, or boost financial flexibility while keeping your mortgage terms manageable.
