Can I refinance my mortgage without having to payoff my home equity line of credit balance?
asked by Anthony J - 5 Answers
I have a mortgage & home equity line of credit with the same lender. The rate on the equity loan is currently 2.5% (prime - 3/4). I was thinking of refinancing my mortgage and taking out a little cash to pay off some credit cards. My question is, if I refinance my mortgage do I have to pay off the balance on my home equity loan?
Yes, you will need to pay it off. You won't get a refinance with an existing lien against your house. ... See all 5 answers
