  • You have approximately $150,000.00 of equity in your home. Following federal lending guidelines, up to $60,000.00 of this equity could be available for use during refinancing.
  • We estimate that the penalty for breaking your mortgage term early would be approximately $3,410.04. For the exact amount, you must contact your current lender.
  • After applying the refinance penalty to the mortgage balance, you would have $56,589.96 in equity left for debt consolidation purposes.
