REFINANCE LOANS
Refinance Loans are a type of financing that allows real estate investors to replace an existing loan on a property with a new loan, often with different terms or conditions. Investors may choose to refinance their properties for various reasons, such as accessing equity, obtaining a lower interest rate, or changing the loan structure. Refinance Loans can be used for both residential and commercial properties, including rental properties and owner-occupied homes.
