Lower Payments

Reduce the Mortgage term
If your cash flow has improved and you can afford a higher monthly payment you can refinance your current high term loan like 30 years into a lower term loan like 10 or 15 years. This will save your dollars into interest payment and help build your equity.

Extend Mortgage Term
If you are facing cash flow problems with your current mortgage, you can extend your mortgage term by refinancing. This will inturn result in losses in total interest paid but will lower your monthly payments.

Cash out Refinance
