3.Why do I want to refinance my mortgage? If it’s to payout debts, you need to take a look at how many times you have refinanced your mortgage? It it’s many, maybe you need to consider your spending habits vs. continuing to get into more debt.

4.If you want to refinance your mortgage to have access to flexible credit like a line of credit for investments, renovations or to make other purchases, if all the numbers make sense and you are not an habitual credit user, this could be a great option. You may also want to refinance to payout high inertest debts. This again is great if you can refinance and make a commitment to not run up those high interest rates again.

5.Cash flow crunch. Many people want to refinance their mortgage because of cash flow reasons. Many times they have access to a fair bit of equity in their homes however due to a change in employment or such, they are finding that they are being squeezed at the end of every month. Again, if all the numbers work and it makes sense with the rate and payout of penalties, this is a solid strategy to help through harder times.

At the end of the day, refinancing your mortgage can be a great option. Ensure you get the right advice to put you and your family in the best financial position.
