Refinancing Explained
Refinance: replacing your existing mortgage loan with a new loan.
Reasons to Refinance
- lower interest rates

- cash out
- personal reasons
Regardless of the reason, there must be a discernable benefit to the borrower in order for us to proceed with your new loan. After the 2008 crash, our regulators of the Board of Governors and the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau set protections in place to ensure a safe environment for the consumer.
