Refinancing 100 percent of your loan allows you to cash out all of the value of your home. With no down payment required, you can use your money to pay off debt, invest in other property, or remodel your current home. When refinancing, make sure that you find the best lender so you don’t get stung on high rate and fees.

Understanding 100% Refinance

100% refinancing means that you take out the total value of your property. You will still need to pay for application fees and points, if you decide to purchase a lower rate. Those closing costs can add up to 3% or more of your loan’s principal amount. But with 100% financing, you can deduct the amount from your principal.

With no equity left, conventional lenders with their prime loans will require you to carry private mortgage insurance. However, subprime lenders don’t ask for such insurance, saving you hundreds a year.

Refinancing also has its tax advantages. For instance, closing costs can be deducted along with paid interest under certain conditions.
