What is refinancing (in Real estate?)?
The simplest explanation
                     
 




magic621a
A typical refinancing goes like this.

Homeowner has a mortgage with a 6% interest rate, and he still owes $200,000. Nowadays, interest rates are lower, so he gets a refinance company to loan him the same $200,000, but with a 5% interest rate. Homeowner takes the money and pays off the first mortgage, and now owes the same amount of money, but with a lower interest rate. Homeowner saves money.


*****
Getting another mortgage company to pay off your original high monthly payment/interest mortgage in exchange for signing a new mortgage contract with them so that you can pay a lower monthly mortgage payment.

Mean you are redoing your mortgage, maybe to get better rates, or you have fallen behind in other bills and you do this to combine other bills with your mortgage to alleviate the headaches all the different bills.


Stargate SG-1
1.) You owe $30,000 @ $300.00 for 10 yrs.
2.) The propertiy is worth $60,000.

You refinance, Now it could be like this:

1.) You get $50,000 - $30,000 still owing.
2.) You have $20,000 cash
3.) You pay $50,000 @ $500.00 for @ 10 yrs.

The 20 extra months on these examples would include the
interest and insurances.

When you own a house with a loan on it (that bank loan being the "financing" you used to buy it) and you want to get more money or a better interest rate, you go to a lender (or mortgage loan broker) and get a newer and better (or bigger) loan on the house. When the new loan closes, they pay off the old loan from the money and if there is anything left over the extra money goes to you.

That is RE-financing (or "refinancing")

When you get a better interest rate on your home loan so you don’t have to pay as much.

PAYING OFF A REAL ESTATE LOAN WITH A NEW LOAN
THAT
OFTEN MODIFIES INTEREST RATE

OR OBTAINS CASH EQUITY FOR EDUCATION OR OTHER PURPOSES


Moxie1313
You find a bank or lending institution who will give you a better interest rate on your mortgage(a loan that lets you buy a house). Most mortgages are about 30 years. Interest alone can add up to over the entire cost of the house! Like if you take out a loan for $150,000 you actually end up paying back $300,000. So if you can refinance your loan to a lower interest rate, you pay less interest over time.

Let's say that you have 20 year mortgage at 8% interest, and interest rates are now down to 4%. You'd like to get a new mortgage at 4% instead of 8% to save alot of money.

It is getting a new mortage loan to replace your current one.
Reasons for refinancing vary... to get a lower rate, to change the repayment term of the loan, or, perhaps most commontly, to "cash out" equity in the property.
