Should You Refinance A Larger Amount Than Your Current Mortgage
One common practice these days is to refinance your house for more than you owe on your current mortgage so that you can get the difference as cash at closing.
Many people do that so that they can use that extra money for home repairs, medical expenses, or education.
I’ve been told at a dealership that many people are refinancing their home to buy a Hummer.
How smart!
If the value of your house went up and you want to refinance to get some money out you can definitely do that but I would be careful what you do with that money because you will be paying interest on it for long time.
Just remember that you have to do a new appraisal fee if you want to refinance your house for more than you on the current mortgage.
Also remember that most of the lenders will not refinance more than 80% of what your house is currently worth. So if the current mortgage on your house exceeds this amount you may not be able to refinance.
So before you make the final decision to refinance your house for more than you own it to get cash at closing I want you to remember this:
Whatever it is that you decide to do with the extra money you are pulling out, remember that home will be at risk if you default on your mortgage payments.
So think really hard before you pull money out when you’re refinancing your house and ask yourself if it’s really worth it.
