Cash-out refinance: Get more from your home’s value

Unlock up to 80% of your home’s value while potentially securing a better interest rate.

Get the cash you need

Your home’s equity is a valuable financial resource. A cash-out refinance can help you access the money you need with a competitive interest rate and flexible terms. You can use the funds for home improvements, debt consolidation, major expenses, or any other financial needs.

Use your cash how you want

Transform your equity into opportunities. Use the funds for debt consolidation, home renovations, education expenses, or any other purpose you choose. Some financing options limit how you spend the money, but a cash-out refinance gives you control over your financial decisions.

Potential to lower your interest rate

A cash-out refinance could help you secure a more favorable rate than your current mortgage. This might mean lower monthly payments and substantial savings over the life of your loan, making it a smart financial choice when market conditions align.

Consolidate your debt

Convert high-interest debt into a more manageable monthly payment. Using your cash-out refinance to pay off credit cards or personal loans could reduce your overall interest costs and simplify your finances with a single monthly payment.

How our cash-out refinance works

1 Calculate your home equity

Find out how much equity you can access by subtracting your current mortgage balance from your home’s estimated market value. With AmeriSave, you can typically borrow up to 80% of your home’s value, minus your existing mortgage balance. Use our Cash-Out Refinance Calculator to see how much cash you can unlock or talk with a mortgage expert to understand your options.

2 Start your application

Begin with our simple online application. Have your basic information ready, including your Social Security number, current mortgage details, and employment information. Our technology provides a credit decision in minutes, so you’ll know where you stand right away.

3 Home appraisal

A licensed appraiser will determine your home’s current market value, which helps establish your borrowing amount. Some properties may qualify for our streamlined automated valuation process, which could save you time and money.

4 Provide documentation to finalize your application

After your initial approval, we’ll need a few additional documents to complete your application. This usually includes recent pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and information about your current mortgage. Our digital portal makes it easy to securely upload documents. You’ll then receive a detailed loan estimate showing your terms, closing costs, and cash-out amount.

5 Close on your cash-out refinance

Look over and sign your final loan documents. You can pay closing costs upfront or include them in your new loan amount. We’ll take care of paying off your existing mortgage and setting up your new loan. After three business days, you’ll have access to your funds.

6 Prepare to make payments

Your new loan includes updated terms and a new payment schedule. Whether you choose a 20- or 30-year term, you’ll know exactly what to expect for your monthly payments. Many homeowners find their new payment structure works better for their budget, especially with a competitive rate.
