Refinance Your Mortgage

What is a mortgage refinance loan?

A mortgage refinance replaces your existing home loan with a new one, often with better terms. You might refinance to lower your interest rate, reduce your monthly payment, shorten your loan term, or tap into your home’s equity.

Refinancing isn’t just for homeowners struggling with payments – it’s also a smart financial strategy for reaching your goals faster. Our team at Lending Harbor can help you decide if refinancing is right for you and guide you through every step.

5 Benefits of Refinancing a Home Loan

Lower your interest rate

Refinancing to a lower interest rate can significantly reduce your monthly mortgage payment, freeing up cash flow for other expenses or savings. Over the life of your loan, a reduced rate could save you thousands of dollars in interest, helping you achieve your financial goals faster.

Change your loan term

Changing the term on a mortgage loan (for example, from a 30-year to 15-year mortgage) can help you achieve specific financial goals. With a shorter term, you’ll pay less interest over the life of your loan. You may also be able to extend your repayment term if needed.

Debt consolidation

A cash-out refinance allows you to use your home’s equity to pay off high-interest debts, such as credit cards or personal loans. By consolidating debt into your mortgage, you can simplify your finances, potentially lower your overall monthly payments, and focus on one manageable payment.

Predictable payments

If you currently have an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), refinancing to a fixed-rate mortgage can provide stability. With a fixed-rate loan, your monthly principal and interest payments remain the same for the life of the loan, making it easier to budget without worrying about rate increases in the future.

Cash-out refinance

With a cash-out refinance, you can tap into your home’s equity to access funds for major expenses like home renovations, college tuition, medical bills, or other financial needs. This can be a cost-effective way to borrow money at a lower rate compared to personal loans or credit cards.
