Ok Guys, Im new to this whole home buying thing, but I just have a question because I hear about it all the time. When someone refinance a house after a few years, they get a lower rate and they have amassed a excellent amount of justice both from paying the mortgage and from increases in home value. If they refinance, how do they pull out cash from the refinance and still maintain the same payment, sometimes lower?
Lets take this scenario: $620000 home. $400000 mortgage for 30 years @ 6.5%. After ten years the home increases to $1000000 and balance on mortgage is $340000. Lets say after the refinance the rate is 5%. I know the new payment for another 30 years would be $1825/mo but “how and what would they be able to pull out”?
Can anyone clarify (in lamens terms)? thanks so much!
