Want to lower your mortgage payment without taking cash out? A rate and term refinance may be the right move. This type of refinance lets you adjust your current mortgage, usually to get a better rate, a shorter term, or both without resetting everything or pulling equity from your home.

For many Colorado homeowners, this is a smart way to save money month-to-month or pay off your home faster.

Why refinance without taking cash out?

Here’s what makes this strategy so appealing:

  • Lower your monthly payment with a better interest rate
  • Switch from an ARM to a fixed-rate loan for long-term stability
  • Shorten your loan term to save thousands in interest over time
  • Remove mortgage insurance (PMI) if you’ve built enough equity
  • No cash out required, just a better loan for your goals

It’s a popular option for homeowners who want to improve their finances without tapping into home equity.

Do I qualify to refinance?

Here are some general guidelines to help you know if this might be a good fit:

– You’ve built equity in your home
– You’re current on your mortgage payments
– Your credit score is at least 620*
– Your income supports the new payment
– You’re not taking any cash out of your home equity
