Refinancing with a FHA Loan
There are also different options for refinancing within the FHA Loan Program. For those who qualify, the most popular types of refinances are FHA Cash-Out Refinances, and FHA Streamline Refinances.
Cash-Out Refinancing
Cash-Out Refinances give the borrower an option to convert their home equity into a lump sum of cash often times for home repairs, paying down debts, funding schooling, or financial emergencies. This can be used to turn a loan that isn’t a FHA loan into a FHA loan.
