Refinancing a commercial real estate loan can offer several benefits for property owners, including securing a lower interest rate, improving cash flow, and extending loan terms. This can help mitigate financial risks by adjusting the loan structure to align with your current and future goals. Owners can also utilize a refinance to consolidate multiple loans and debt into a single, more manageable loan. Further, a cash-out refinance allows access to the property’s equity for renovations, expansions, or other investment opportunities.
Cash-Out Refi
Convert equity to cash if the property's net income can support a larger loan. A cash out-refi will allow you to access the equity to meet your financial goals and for strategic reasons. A lender will want to see you evaluate the costs and risks to make a sound decision and generally authorize the loan.

Rate & Term Refi
Having to pay a balloon payment may not align with your long-term financial goals. Choose a rate & term refi as an opportunity to modify your loan tenure and holding period, convert from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) for an interest rate reduction, or build equity in the property more quickly.

Purchase
Refinance
Home Equity
Getting a loan to purchase residential real estate can be a crucial strategy in homeownership and investments. It enables individuals to benefit from potential property appreciation without investing the entire purchase amount with their funds. Typically, mortgage interest payments are tax deductible, providing an additional financial incentive to reduce taxable income.
30-Year or 15-Year Fixed Rate
A conventional loan in which the monthly payments remain the same throughout the life of the loan. With a 30-year-fixed-rate mortgage, your monthly principal and interest payments are lower than on a 15-year fixed-rate loan. But, a 15-year loan allows you to repay your loan twice as fast and have significant interest savings.

Refinance loans can be helpful for various reasons. They provide homeowners with financial flexibility and potential benefits, including securing a lower interest rate, reducing monthly payments, and switching loan programs and terms to save overall interest costs. Homeowners can also utilize a refinance to consolidate high-interest debt, such as credit cards and personal loans, or a cash-out refinance to convert equity into cash for home improvements, education, and unexpected financial needs.
Cash-Out Refinance
A way to both refinance your mortgage and borrow money at the same time. You refinance your mortgage and receive a check at closing. The balance owed on your new mortgage will be higher than your old one by the amount of that check, plus any closing costs rolled into the loan.
-
Debt consolidation
-

Variable to Fixed Rate
In times of economic uncertainty or market volatility, a fixed-rate mortgage offers security, as your mortgage payments remain unaffected by external economic factors. Knowing that your mortgage payments won’t change due to interest rate fluctuations can reduce financial stress.
-
Payment stability
-
Protection against rate increases
-
Potential long-term savings
Lower Your Payment
Refinancing your mortgage to take advantage of lower interest rates is one way to lower your monthly payment. In some cases, a lower interest rate may also be associated with the option to extend the mortgage term. The borrower should consider an evaluation between more interest over the life of the loan and monthly financial relief.

Shorter Term Mortgage
Refinancing your mortgage to take advantage of lower interest rates is one way to lower your monthly payment. You’ll need adequate home equity to qualify for a refinance and consider your future income stability. Equity is the market value of your home minus what you still owe on the mortgage.

Interest savings

Unlike other types of loans designated for specific purposes, a home equity loan typically allows you to use the funds for any purpose, giving you flexibility in managing your finances. For example, using a loan for home improvements can increase the value of your property, which can be beneficial if you plan to sell your home in the future. These loans often offer longer repayment terms than other loan programs, which can result in more manageable monthly payments.
Home Equity Loans (Second Loans)
Borrow against the equity in your home and receive a lump sum of money that you can use to renovate, cover major expenses, or consolidate debt. On average, home equity loans offer lower fixed rates and longer repayment terms than personal loans, student loans, or credit cards.
