The average American homeowner refinances their mortgage every four years. Why not just get a mortgage and stick with it like your parents did you ask? Homeowners are finding that as their financial situations change due to higher incomes and better credit, doors are opening to them that may have been closed before.

You can accomplish this by taking cash back; this means you are borrowing more than you owe on your existing loan with the new mortgage. Once you close on the loan you will get the excess back in cash to pay off your bills. By paying off your existing debt and focusing on paying all of your bills on time you will be on track to rebuild your credit in as little as two years.
