Mortgage Refinancing Types
Rate and
Term
This is a refinance of your first mortgage with no cash out. Up to 95% of
the value of your home at conforming rates. If you have a 97%, or 100%
mortgage, and your home value has gone up - you should refinance in most cases.
Cash out
Generally you can take out up to 75% of the value of your home without a rate
bump. Over 75%, you will see a small rate increase to the rate (up to
.25%). You can take up to 100% of the value of your home, but the rate is
a couple points higher, and the credit restrictions are higher.
Under normal rules, you can take out up to $100,000 out of your home and keep
low rates. $200,000 is available at a slightly higher rate.
Unlimited cash out is available, but generally it's an ARM (adjustable rate),
not a fixed rate. There are no limitations on the cash uses.
Debt Consolidation
Make your debt tax deductible. Use your biggest tax deduction - your
home. Whether with a 1st or 2nd mortgage, both work to your advantage!
2nd Mortgages
usually for debt consolidation - see above

Keep in Mind.
When you refinance, the closing costs are usually included in the loan. That
means the only out of pocket money is the appraisal, which can be rebated at
closing.
Low cost and no cost mortgage available. (but - the rates are
higher. We'll can help determine what's best for you.)
Conforming rates means under a $300,700 loan
amount. Jumbo rates are a little higher. Non-conforming
rates are for people with credit issues. Depending on how bad your credit
is, the rate may vary.
