The $3900 (6% of 65,000) closing costs come out of the $15,000 cash out. Any more bunny questions?

Next time, do the math before posting.

Hello investors please pardon my MAJOR ignorance,

but can someone explain to me what “CASH-OUT REFINANCING” means. It would help if you gave an example. Thanks.

Sure. You have a house and your mortgage balance is $50,000. You want a lower interest rate so you refinance. You have plenty of equity so you refinance for $65,000. $50,000 pays off the original mortage and you “cash out” $15,000.

and the fairy tooth bunny pays for the closing costs?
count on 3%-6% for closing costs, depending on the lender, plus any liens… then you have the real “cash-out”.
