Is Cashing Out Your Equity Too Costly?
(presented by www.refinance-refinance.net - mortgage lenders)



By David Nemer

One question people often have about refinancing their mortgage is if their mortgage payment will go up if they cash out their equity during the refinance. This question is different for every situation, but there are some common indicators as to whether cashing out your equity will raise the principle on your mortgage. The most important things to consider are how much your home is currently worth, how much equity you actually have invested in it and what your current interest rate is. If you have developed equity in your home, and your interest rate is currently higher than it would be after refinancing, then you can most likely arrange to cash out some of your equity and keep the same payments, or possibly lower them.

Also, if you have developed equity in your home which is greater than the amount you need to cash out and you find a refinance offer with a lower interest rate, you can probably cash out and keep the same payment. One aspect to remember though is that even though your monthly payments can usually be lowered, or kept the same, your time to payoff the loan will sometimes change. In other words, if you cash out your equity, the amount that was cashed out is added back onto the principle balance of your mortgage. So, instead of paying $500 per month for the next 60 months to pay off your house, now you have to pay $500 per month for the next 80 months to pay off your house
