Is Refinancing Your Home Loan Right for You?
Refinancing replaces your current mortgage with a new one, typically to secure a lower interest rate, reduce your loan term, or cash out home equity to pay off high-interest debt or fund home renovations.
When Does Refinancing Make Sense?
- Lowering Your Interest Rate: As a rule of thumb, refinancing makes financial sense if you can lower your rate by 0.75% to 1.0% or more.
- Removing FHA Mortgage Insurance: If you bought your home with an FHA loan, you can refinance into a conventional loan once you have 20% equity to completely eliminate monthly PMI.
- Debt Consolidation: A cash-out refinance allows you to tap into home equity to pay off credit card balances, car loans, or medical debt at much lower mortgage rates.
The Refinance Process in Arizona
The refinancing process is similar to a home purchase but much faster, and typically doesn't require a purchase contract. Check out our Mortgage Services page for details.
