There are a variety of reasons to go through this process, from lowering your interest rate, to planning for life’s important milestones. Let’s look at the most common reasons homeowners refinance their mortgages, HOME starting with reducing the monthly BUYING payment by getting a lower rate. 1. Get a Lower Rate to Reduce SUE ANN Embroidery • Screen Printing • Engraving Your Monthly Payment GUTHMAN T-Shirts • Hoodies • Hats • and More! Lowering your interest rate has a two-fold benefit. Not only does it lower your monthly payment, but it can save thousands of dollars in interest. 2. Take Cash Out of Your Home’s Equity When you owe less than your home is worth, that means you have equity built up in your home. You may be able to get cash out based on the amount of equity in your home. You can use these funds to spend on home improvements, debt consolidation, paying college tuition or paying off student loans, or any other financial needs you may have. 3. Change the Term of Your Loan Changing your term from a 30 year to a 20 or 15 year term will save thousands in interest and pay your loan off much faster. You may want to increase the term from a 15 year to a 30 year to reduce your monthly mortgage payments. 4.
