Conventional Refinance | Lower Your Rate or Tap Equity in Maryland

Conventional Refinance Options in Maryland

If you already have a conventional mortgage, refinancing could help you improve your financial position. Whether you want to lower your monthly payment, secure a better interest rate, or tap into your home equity, a conventional refinance gives you flexible options with competitive terms.

There are two main types of refinance: rate-and-term and cash-out. Both can be tailored to meet your current goals.

Why Refinance a Conventional Loan?

  • Lower your interest rate and monthly payment

  • Eliminate PMI if your home has gained enough equity

  • Switch loan terms (e.g., from a 30-year to a 15-year mortgage)

  • Tap into equity for home renovations, debt consolidation, or investments

  • Remove a co-borrower from the loan

Rate-and-Term Refinance

This option allows you to change the terms of your loan without borrowing additional cash. You might refinance into:

  • A lower interest rate

  • A shorter or longer loan term

  • A fixed-rate mortgage (if you currently have an ARM)

This is ideal if your goal is monthly savings or long-term interest reduction.

It might be easier to get pre-approved for a mortgage than you ever imagined. We believe in making it as easy as possible for everyone to purchase their own home. Click here now to get started, it only takes a few minutes online.

Cash-Out Refinance

With a cash-out refinance, you borrow more than your current mortgage balance and receive the difference in cash. It’s a great option if you want to:

  • Remodel your home

  • Pay off high-interest debt

  • Cover tuition or other major expenses

To qualify, you'll generally need at least 20% equity in your home, and credit scores of 620 or higher. Higher scores may help secure better terms.

Do You Qualify for a Refinance?


Qualification depends on:

  • Your current equity position

  • Your credit score (usually 620+)

  • Debt-to-income ratio

  • Property type and use (primary residence, second home, or investment)
