You may decide to refinance to accomplish
a variety of goals, but for some basic reasons: To save
money by getting a lower interest rate or to save money
by using a tax-deductible loan (the refinance) to pay
off non-tax-deductible debt. Now thats smart!
People most commonly use
a refinance loan to:
- Convert a higher interest rate
mortgage to a lower interest rate mortgage
- Lower their cost of debt by converting
non-tax-deductible debt, such as credit cards or car
loans, to tax-deductible mortgage debt.
- Convert an adjustable rate mortgage
to a fixed rate.
- Consolidate a first and second
mortgage into one lower-rate mortgage.
- To get cash for family needs/expenses
(tuition, medical expenses, etc.)
- To reduce the term of their mortgage.
