Cash-Out Refinance
Defined by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker
A cash-out refinance replaces your mortgage with a larger loan and gives you the difference in cash, tapping your home equity.
What Cash-Out Refinance means
You can use the proceeds for renovations, debt payoff, or investment. Most Florida lenders require you to keep at least 20% equity after the cash-out. The new loan resets your rate and term.
Florida example
A homeowner with a $250,000 balance on a $450,000 home refinances into a $360,000 loan, pocketing about $110,000 while retaining 20% equity. Rates on cash-out refinances run slightly higher than rate-and-term refinances.
