What it is

Understanding Refinance Loans

Refinancing replaces your existing mortgage with a new one — ideally with better terms. The right refinance can lower your monthly payment, shorten your loan term, drop mortgage insurance, switch from an ARM to a fixed rate, or pull equity out for major expenses.

Andrew Kashella works with over 100 lenders, so you get a real comparison of refinance offers based on your goals — not whichever lender pays the most for the lead. Whether you want a rate-and-term refinance, a cash-out refinance, or a streamlined VA/FHA refinance, we'll find the cleanest path.

Frequently Asked

Refinance Loans Questions

Is now a good time to refinance?

Depends on your current rate, how long you'll keep the home, and the closing costs vs. monthly savings. Generally if you can drop your rate by 0.75% or more and you'll stay in the home another 2–3 years, refinancing pays for itself. Send Andrew your existing loan info for a free analysis.

How much does a refinance cost?

Closing costs typically run 2–4% of the loan amount. Costs can be paid out-of-pocket, financed into the loan, or covered by a slightly higher rate (lender credit).

How long does a refinance take?

30–45 days for a standard refi, 15–30 days for VA IRRRL or FHA Streamline.

What's the difference between rate-and-term and cash-out refinance?

Rate-and-term changes your interest rate, term, or both — loan amount stays roughly the same. Cash-out increases your loan amount and you receive the difference in cash. Cash-out rates are slightly higher because of higher risk.
