A refinance replaces your current home loan with a new one, typically to lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly payment, change your loan term, or access home equity.
A rate-and-term refinance improves your loan (lower rate or different term) without taking equity out. A cash-out refinance lets you borrow against your home’s equity and receive cash at closing.
Refinancing may make sense if you can: lower your interest rate; reduce your monthly payment; pay off your loan faster; and eliminate mortgage insurance (in some cases). Your break-even point (how long it takes to recover closing costs) is key.
No, initial rate checks typically use a soft credit pull, which does not impact your score.
Most programs require at least 5-20% equity, depending on the loan type. Cash-out refinances usually require more equity than standard rate-and-term refinances.
Common options include: conventional rate-and term refinance (15-year & 30-year fixed-rate loans); conventional cash out refinance (pull cash out of your home equity); FHA refinance (including FHA cash out & streamline); VA refinance (including VA cash out & IRRRL/streamline). Each refi type has different requirements and benefits and will depend on your original loan type.
Streamline programs (like FHA Streamline or VA IRRRL) are designed to make refinancing faster and easier, often with: reduced documentation, no appraisal (in some cases), and faster approval timelines. You must already have an FHA or VA loan to qualify.
Most refinances take 2–4 weeks, depending on your lender, documentation, and loan type.
Refinancing typically includes closing costs (often 2–5% of the loan amount), which may include lender fees, appraisal, and title costs. Some options allow you to roll these into the loan.
Yes, many programs allow for less-than-perfect credit. FHA and VA loans often have more flexible requirements than conventional loans.
