Refinancing replaces your current mortgage with a new one. You might do this to get a lower interest rate, change your loan term (Rate-and-Term Refinance), or convert home equity into cash (Cash-Out Refinance).
Improve your current loan by securing a lower interest rate, reducing your monthly payments, or shortening your loan term to pay it off faster and save on interest (Rate-and-Term).
Access the equity you've built in your home by taking out a new, larger loan and receiving the difference in cash for things like home improvements, debt consolidation, or education expenses (Cash-Out).

Common questions Peak Capital Mortgage LLC answers for homeowners exploring rate-and-term and cash-out refinancing.
Refinancing typically makes sense when you can lower your interest rate enough to recoup closing costs within a reasonable timeframe, when you want to switch from an adjustable-rate to a fixed-rate loan, when you need to access home equity through a cash-out refinance, or when you want to shorten your loan term to pay off your home faster. Peak Capital Mortgage LLC can run a personalized break-even analysis so you can see exactly when refinancing pays off for your situation.
A rate-and-term refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new loan that has a different interest rate, term, or both, without changing the loan amount significantly. A cash-out refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a larger loan, and you receive the difference in cash at closing. Cash-out refinances are often used to consolidate debt, fund home improvements, or pay for major expenses like education.
For a standard rate-and-term refinance, most lenders require at least 20% equity, though some programs allow less. For a cash-out refinance, lenders typically require you to retain at least 20% equity after the cash-out amount. VA and FHA streamline refinance programs often have more flexible equity requirements. Your specific equity position is determined by a current appraisal of your home.
Refinance closing costs typically range from 2% to 5% of the loan amount and may include origination fees, appraisal fees, title insurance, recording fees, and prepaid items like property taxes and homeowners insurance. Some lenders offer no-closing-cost refinance options where the costs are rolled into the loan or covered through a slightly higher interest rate. Peak Capital Mortgage LLC will provide a detailed Loan Estimate showing all costs upfront.
Most refinances close within 30 to 45 days from application, though timing varies based on appraisal scheduling, lender processing times, and how quickly you provide requested documentation. VA Streamline (IRRRL) and FHA Streamline refinances often close faster because they require less documentation. Cash-out refinances typically have a mandatory three-business-day right-of-rescission period after closing before funds are released.
