First-Time Home Buyer?
Buying a home can be a daunting task. The challenges of being a first-time home owner can be intimidating, particularly for people who are moving away from home, starting their careers and dealing with student loan debt. Here are a few guidelines to help take some of the stress out of your decision.
Refinance & Save
Refinance with Cash Out
If the value of your home is more than what you owe, you can borrow some of that "value." The way it works is you pay off your mortgage and receive the remaining funds in a lump sum (without taking out a second loan). You can use the money for anything you want. Home improvement and debt consolidation are popular uses.
Refinance with a HELOC
Refinancing your mortgage with a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a popular option. A big benefit is you'll save up-front because there are no closing costs. Also, there is no appraisal fee or escrow commitment.
