Homeowners are taking advantage of their equity to finance home improvement projects, payoff credit card bills, medical bills, etc. Both home equity loans and cash refinance loans offer great benefits. Below is the major difference between the two options:

Home equity loans

A home equity loan is a separate loan from your existing mortgage loan. It is repayable in fixed monthly installments, just like your mortgage loan. The interest rate on a home equity loan may be higher than that of a refinance loan. However, a home equity loan does not have closing costs, which could save you thousands of dollars. In addition, home equity loans tend to be faster in terms of processing than refinance loans since they do not involve the closing process.

Cash Refinance Loans

A cash refinance loan is the same as a mortgage refinance loan. It is advantageous when, interest rates are low and home values have risen. They usually offer lower interest rates than home equity loans.

Mortgage refinance loans are not separate loans like home equity loans, instead they are a replacement of your existing home loan. For example, if your current mortgage loan is $150,000 and the appraised value of the home is $165,000. You can refinance your home for $165,000. This will allow you to take out $15,000 cash to be used as a personal check. Your new mortgage payments will now be based on your new mortgage loan of $165,000.
