What is an investment property refinance?

Similar to how you would refinance your primary home you can refinance an investment property, which includes one- to four-unit residential properties. Refinancing might be a good option if you’re looking to convert your home equity into cash or change your loan term. Contact a mortgage loan officer to discuss investment property refinance rates or use our mortgage refinance calculator to determine if refinancing makes sense for you.

Learn how you can benefit from refinancing your investment property.

When you refinance, there are several benefits you may be able to take advantage of – like changing the terms of your loan, for example. You can also use the equity to make repairs and improvements. Here are three reasons to consider refinancing your investment property.

Cash out equity.

Cash-out refinancing for an investment property allows you to borrow against the equity for cash at closing. You can reinvest the cash into the property to make improvements or use it for a variety of other things, including:

  • College tuition
  • A down payment on a vacation home
  • Retirement savings
  • To consolidate credit card debt
  • Medical costs
  • Wedding expenses
  • A vacation
  • A new car or boat

Change the loan term.

If you don’t mind a larger payment, you may want to shorten your loan’s term. This can help you save money on interest and pay off your mortgage much quicker. You can also extend the repayment of your loan by lengthening the term. This will likely lower your monthly payment.

Another option is to refinance from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed-rate mortgage, or vice-versa. ARM loans can save you money on your monthly payment early on, but once the introductory fixed-rate period ends, your interest rate and payment may increase. Switching to a fixed-rate mortgage can protect you from future rate increases. If you plan to sell your investment property in the next few years, switching to an ARM loan may be an option for you. It could lower your rate and monthly payment until the introductory fixed-rate period ends or you sell the property.

We offer a variety of refinancing options and are ready to help you find the right choice for your needs. Contact a mortgage loan officer to learn more about your mortgage options for your investment property refinance.

Lower the interest rate.

One of the more common reasons to refinance is to lower the interest rate on your existing loan. If the reduction is great enough, refinancing into a lower interest rate could help you save money, lower your monthly payment and grow the equity in your home at a faster pace.
