Frequently asked questions

How does this compare HELOC vs cash-out refi?

We model your existing mortgage, then compare adding a HELOC against replacing the loan with a larger refinance to extract cash.

When is a HELOC better?

If you need cash short term and rates are high, a HELOC can avoid resetting your whole mortgage. Watch variable-rate risk and terms.

Do closing costs change the result?

Yes. Refi closing costs and potential HELOC fees affect break-even. Adjust these inputs to see net cost differences.
