Cash-out Refinancing Explained

Here’s an example: Let’s say you still owe $80,000 on a $150,000 house, and you want a lower interest rate. You also want $20,000 cash, maybe to spend on your child’s first semester at Princeton. You can refinance the mortgage for $100,000. Ideally, you get a better rate on the $80,000 that you owe on the house and you get a check for $20,000 to spend as you wish. Cash-out refinancing differs from a home equity loan in several ways:

A home equity loan is a separate loan on top of your first mortgage.
A cash-out refinance is a replacement of your first mortgage.
The interest rates on a cash-out refinancing are usually, but not always, lower than the interest rate on a home equity loan.
