The truth is that bothhave their advantages - but probably onewill be better for your situation than theother. This will mean that you need toknow a little about each in order to makeup your mind. Here are some differencesbetween the two.A cash out mortgage will involverefinancing your first mortgage. Thiscould be a great way to go, especially if you can get interest rates on therefinance that are at least one percent(two percent is to be preferred) lowerthan your present mortgage rates. So not
 
only could you get the equity you want,but also you will save thousands of dollarsby getting better interest rates, too. You get the equity you want in a lumpsum when your cash out mortgage isapproved. All you need to do is torefinance for the amount of the mortgagethat is still outstanding, and add theamount of cash you want from yourequity. You will want to watch and makesure that you do not refinance for anamount equal to 80% of the value of yourhouse - that includes the equity, as well. The reason for this is simple, you want tomake sure that 20% of the value of yourhome is left intact so that you do notneed to pay the Private MortgageInsurance. This could add thousands of dollars each year to your payments.
