HOME REFINANCE

If you own a home, you know about monthly mortgage payments. A sizeable sum with considerable impact on your month-to-month finances. You’re also likely used to balancing this with your other payments, savings and debts. As one of your largest investments, refinancing your home can provide you with many options and benefits.

Refinancing means that you pay off one loan with the proceeds from a new loan using the same property as security. Some people refinance to take advantage of lower interest rates, while others may do so to get money for a home improvement project. Whatever your goal, you’ll want to make sure the home refinance option you choose fits into your larger financial plan and will truly benefit you in the long run.

Understanding your options is the first step to making an informed decision.

Lower My Monthly Payment, Refinancing to have a little extra cash each month by applying to high-interest debts or save for the long term.

Reduce My Interest Rate, In general, the lower the interest rate the less you will pay on your loan overall.

Shortern My Repayment Period, Is owning your home sooner a worthy tradeoff for higher monthly payments? Does paying off your home loan before other debts make financial sense?
