Teresa Tims President of TDR Mortgage in Upland CA. What you should do when considering a Cash-out Refinance A Home Equity Line of Credit. (HELOC) in California.

1) Evaluate what your payment and cash out amount would be if you refinanced and got cash out VS. what the payment would be if you got a HELOC loan.

2) Look at the “cost” of the Refinance also. How much are you paying to access the cash that you are getting? Exclude the Taxes, Insurance, and overall impounds and interest per day. Look at the lender fees and title and escrow ONLY. This is the real cost.

3) Evaluate the “Term” of the 2nd Mortgage Heloc. Is it adjustable? Is it for a10, 15, 20, or 30-year term.

4) How long have you had your current loan? Is it worth Starting over with a whole new loan or better with a short term Heloc?
