If you already have a conventional mortgage, refinancing could help you improve your financial position. Whether you want to lower your monthly payment, secure a better interest rate, or tap into your home equity, a conventional refinance gives you flexible options with competitive terms.
There are two main types of refinance: rate-and-term and cash-out. Both can be tailored to meet your current goals.
Why Refinance a Conventional Loan?
Lower your interest rate and monthly payment
Eliminate PMI if your home has gained enough equity
Switch loan terms (e.g., from a 30-year to a 15-year mortgage)
Tap into equity for home renovations, debt consolidation, or investments
Remove a co-borrower from the loan
Rate-and-Term Refinance
This option allows you to change the terms of your loan without borrowing additional cash. You might refinance into:
A lower interest rate
A shorter or longer loan term
A fixed-rate mortgage (if you currently have an ARM)
This is ideal if your goal is monthly savings or long-term interest reduction.
Cash-Out Refinance
With a cash-out refinance, you borrow more than your current mortgage balance and receive the difference in cash. It’s a great option if you want to:
Remodel your home
Pay off high-interest debt
Cover tuition or other major expenses
To qualify, you'll generally need at least 20% equity in your home, and credit scores of 620 or higher. Higher scores may help secure better terms.
Do You Qualify for a Refinance?
Qualification depends on:
Your current equity position
Your credit score (usually 620+)
Debt-to-income ratio
Property type and use (primary residence, second home, or investment)
