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.

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.

Group 366-2

5, 7 or 10 Year Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM).

Is a type of loan with an interest rate that can change periodically. This means the payment can go up or down. Generally, these changes are determined by a margin and an index so that changes in the interest rate are based on current market conditions. Most often these interest rate charges are limited by periodic and lifetime rate change caps.


  • Minimum FICO score: 620+
  • Downpayment: As low as 5%
  • Loan limit: $125K up to county limit

Jumbo

fixed or adjustable rate financing option for wellqualified buyers who need to purchase a high-value home that exceeds the conventional county loan limit. You can use this program to buy a primary residence, vacation home, or investment property. However, higher loan amounts may have reduced tax benefits, and you should consult a professional accountant.


  • Minimum FICO score: 680+
  • Downpayment: As low as 10%
  • Loan limit: As high as $3.5M
Group 392

FHA

A government-backed, fixed-rate loan to help borrowers who may not qualify for conventional financing. The program offers competitive interest rates and less stringent guidelines, allowing borrowers with debt and low credit scores to buy a home with a low down payment. However, additional monthly mortgage insurance payments are required.


  • Minimum FICO score: 500+
  • Downpayment: As low as 3.5%
  • Loan limit: Up to county limit
Group 393

Bank Statements

An option for self-employed and high net-worth individuals who cannot document their income with tax returns to meet the stringent documentation requirements of traditional lenders.

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.
Group 368

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
  • Home improvement
  • Expenses and investments
Group 366-2

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
Group 391

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.


  • Increase cash flow
  • Extend loan term
  • Manage affordability

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. 

Group 368

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.


  • Flexible use of funds
  • Fixed interest rate
  • Extended repayment plan
Group 366-2

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

A revolving credit line that allows you to borrow as much as you need up to your credit limit. Typically, with an adjustable percentage rate with options to lock in all or a portion of your line at a fixed rate. During the draw period (5 to 10 years), you may only have to make interest payments for better cash flow management.

  • Interest only payments
