Rate-and-Term vs. Cash-Out
The right refi depends on what you're trying to do. Both run through the same broker advantage: wholesale rates, your scenario shopped 50+ lenders deep.
Rate-and-Term
Replace your loan with a better one. Same balance, better rate or different length.
- Lower monthly payment
- Shorter loan length (30 → 15 yr)
- Drop PMI when LTV crosses 80%
- Convert ARM to fixed
Cash-Out
Tap your home's equity. New loan replaces the old one, with cash to you at close.
- Up to 80% LTV (conventional)
- Up to 90% LTV (VA cash-out)
- Use for renovation, debt, investment
- 3-day right-of-rescission after close

Signs It's Time to Refinance
- Rates are 0.75%+ below your current rate
- You have an FHA loan and want to drop MIP
- You have an ARM that's about to adjust up
- You've hit 20% equity and want to drop PMI
- You need cash for renovation, debt payoff, or investment
- You're staying in the home long enough to recoup costs
The honest answer: not every refi is worth it. Closing costs run 2-5% of the loan amount, and if you sell before recouping, you lose money. We run the actual breakeven number before you decide, not a generic "you could save thousands" pitch.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does it make sense to refinance my Arizona mortgage?
Three common triggers: rates drop 0.75% or more below your current rate, you want to shorten your term (e.g. 30 to 15 years), or you need to convert equity to cash. The math depends on your remaining balance, how long you'll stay in the home, and closing costs. We run the actual breakeven before you commit.
What's the difference between a rate-and-term refi and a cash-out refi?
Rate-and-term replaces your existing mortgage with a new one (usually to lower the rate or change the loan length) without taking cash. Cash-out refi increases your loan balance and gives you the difference in cash, drawn from your home's equity. Cash-out has slightly higher rates and stricter loan-to-value limits.
How much can I borrow with a cash-out refinance?
On a primary residence, conventional cash-out typically tops out at 80% loan-to-value (LTV). VA cash-out can go up to 90% in many cases. FHA cash-out caps at 80%. We'll pull your home's value and calculate available cash before you decide.
How long does a refinance take to close?
A standard Arizona refinance closes in 30 to 45 days. Streamline products (FHA Streamline, VA IRRRL) can close faster (sometimes 21 days) because they skip the appraisal in qualifying cases. Cash-out refis include a federal 3-day right-of-rescission after closing before funds disburse.
