The holiday season is officially here. Why not tap into your home equity with a Cash-Out Refinance? A Cash-Out Refinance can be a good way to pay for those home improvements you’ve been longing to get done.
A recent report from data firm Black Knight found that the average U.S. homeowner has $153,000 in “tappable” home equity — an all-time high. How do you take equity out of your home? And when is it a good idea to do so? We’ll cover all this and more in today’s blog.
Equity grows year by year as you pay down your mortgage and as your home increases in value.
However, don’t think of equity as liquid cash. Instead, to put the money to work, you need to convert home equity into liquid cash. Que the cash-out refinance loan.
A cash-out refi will replace your existing mortgage with a new home loan for more than you owe on your home. The difference goes to you in cash, and you can spend it on things such as home improvements, to pay off debts or other financial needs.
