Cash Out Mortgage Refinance: Equity in Your Hand

By: AndrewMcAllister
Equity is the key to obtaining a Cash Out Mortgage Refinance loan that can lower the mortgage interest and put a cash advance in your hands. The cash advance is the extra funds left after paying off the high interest mortgage that is included in the new Cash Out Loan.

When you take on a cash out refinance, you pay off the original mortgage and at the same time receive a check for the balance over and above what you owed on the remaining balance. You can then use the money for home improvement, to pay off other debts or even go on a vacation.

Home equity is necessary to obtain Cash Out mortgage loans. Customers with poor credit scores and low equity cannot qualify for Cash Out refinancing plans offered through a majority of banks or lenders. Collateral is the key and equity is the key collateral anticipated to qualify.

The money received from the refinance may be used as needed. Consumers are not expected to provide details of expenditures. This includes refinance lenders. The borrower determines use of the funds. The money receive is included in the total amount of the new loan and will be paid as part of regular payments on the loan. No explanation is needed regarding how a borrower decides to use the funds.

The borrower can pay off high interest or outstanding debts that can impact obtaining a good credit rating using the money from cash out refinancing. Remodeling your kitchen, paying off student loans or financing for your children's education is additional suggestions for use of funds. The additional funds are an opportunity to lower interest rates on other debts as part of the refinancing process.

If you choose to use the money for home improvement, you may benefit by creating additional tax deductions. Since tax laws are changing every year, it is strongly recommended that you talk to an experienced tax attorney for the most current information about what it and is not a deductible expense.

If you are a homeowner with a decent amount of equity in your home and you are already considering the potential of a refinance to take advantage of lower interest rates, then why not go ahead and see what a cash out mortgage refinance can do for you? Let's face the facts here. I can't think of many people who couldn't find a good use for a little extra money now and then, especially if they have high interest credit cards with high balances or other high interest debt.

So do a little research. Talk to friends, coworkers and family members who have refinanced their mortgages and listen carefully to what they have to recommend.
