Lower Payment FAQs
When you refinance your home loan into a lower interest rate or a different type of loan term without increasing the overall loan amount, this is considered a rate-and-term refinance. You can reduce your interest rate in order to save money monthly, go from an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) to a fixed rate loan or vice versa, or even just re-set the fixed rate period on you current ARM.
Conventional Refinance
Conventional refinance loans typically allow you to roll the costs of refinancing into your new loan amount while still being considered rate-and-term. Additionally, conventional loans backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac may allow for a small sum to be taken out of the loan proceeds, not to exceed $2,000 or 2% of the loan amount, whichever is less. Learn more about conventional loans here.
FHA & VA Refinance
Rate-and-term FHA and VA refinance loans may limit the amount of cash proceeds you can receive to $500 or less. They may also require that your refinance meet certain criteria for being financially beneficial, for example an interest rate reduction of 0.500% or greater, or going from an adjustable rate loan to a fixed rate loan.

Regular rate-and-term refinances lower monthly payments by reducing the interest rate of the loan, ideally without increasing the principal balance you owe. Additional payment savings may come from resetting your loan term back to a new 30 year mortgage. You may be able to roll in the costs of refinancing and even receive a small sum at closing though. For conventional loans, this is limited to 2% of the loan or $2,000 — whichever is less. For other loan types, like FHA or VA loans, this may be limited to $500 or less.
A cash-out refinance may also reduce your total monthly payments, especially if you are paying off other debts. This type of refinance allows you to take money out of the equity in your home, up to a certain loan-to-value percentage. Since your loan amount is increasing, investors see this as an increase in risk and charge slightly higher interest rates for cash-out loans compared to rate-and-term refinances.
