  • Refinancing to acquire a lower interest rate could ease the stress of your monthly payments. In addition, you could extend the term of the loan and that would also lower payments.
  • Additional Cash on Hand. Refinancing would allow you to have additional funds to complete home repairs or improvements, pay off debts, college expenses, etc.
