A cash-out refinance replaces your current mortgage with a larger one based on how much equity you have in your house. After your existing loan is paid off, you receive the difference and can put it toward renovations, paying off debts or any other expenses.

Because they typically have lower interest rates, many homeowners prefer cash-out refinancing over personal loans, home equity loans or HELOCs. Plus, there’s only one monthly bill to pay.

CNBC Select has chosen the best lenders for cash-out refinancing in a variety of categories (See our methodology for more information in how we made our picks.)

Who’s this for? New American Funding approves cash-out refinancing applicants with credit scores as low as 580, much lower than the traditional 620 most lenders require. NAF also accepts nontraditional credit references, such as on-time utility or insurance payments.

Standout benefits: Borrowers who don’t close within 14 days may be eligible for a $250 credit toward closing costs.

A cash-out refinance mortgage replaces your current home loan with a larger one with a new rate and term. The new loan pays off your current balance and the remaining funds are given to you as a cash loan.

To qualify for a cash-out refinancing loan, borrowers typically need a 620 FICO score, a debt-to-income ratio of 45% or less and at least 20% equity in their home. (Some lenders may have more flexible requirements.)

Most lenders will lend you up to 80% of your home’s value, although some will go as high as 90%. Some government-backed loans are eligible for a loan-to-value ratio of 100%, but lenders may have lower limits.

A portion of the interest on a cash-out mortgage refinance may be tax-deductible if you use the money to “buy, build, or substantially improve” a property, according to the IRS.

Home equity loans are second mortgages that offer homeowners a lump-sum cash payment with a fixed interest rate and repayment terms of between 5 and 30 years. They can be a good option if you have large one-time costs like buying a car or consolidating high-interest debt.
