Theoretical Refinance Question
Posted on 4/5/21 at 6:23 pm

Can someone tell me what I’m missing here. I’m conservative/low risk by nature so the following will make more sense.
I have 24 years and 89k left on my mortgage. 4.5% interest. Monthly payment of 550 not including tax and insurance. value of conservatively 200k. 250k+ in current market.
I’m 32. Income of 130k and expenses about 3k/month. Saving/investing the rest.
I’ve been hesitant to refinance because the mortgage is so small and I like the freedom of knowing I don’t have to wait 3-4 years to recoup my costs if I decided to sell when a good opportunity came. Credit is 790-800.
I’ve been toying with the idea of refinancing and pulling out equity and putting it into a high dividend etf 7-8% yield (SDIV, etc)
If I pull out 50k in equity the dividend would cover my refinance cost after slightly over a year when accounting for capital gains.
If I pull out 80k I could essentially make my mortgage payment each year after, off of dividend yields.
This seems too easy. I know I’ve skipped some math. But this would essentially let my equity pay my mortgage.
I know there are better investments if I wanted to just put it into the overall market. But I invest my income already so just looking to put my equity to work. What am I missing?

The only issue I see is duration of your mortgage. Any loss over that period of time like last March could wipe out all of this income.

High dividend yields exist because the stock is shitty, you will likely lose value on the equity. But you have the right theory, you finance as much house as you are comfortable with and then invest the savings, which in theory over the long haul will yield a gain over what you pay in interest.

refinancing is a no brainer even if you don't take out any money with it. unless you plan to sell in the next 2 years, refinancing should easily pay for itself. and you can do a 15 or 20 year note and get a lower interest rate. they payments shouldn't be much more than you are paying now, but based on your income, that shouldn't matter much.

If you are using the money to pay off debts or make money, now is the time to refinance. I can send you a analysis showing when cost of refinance will pay itself off or the debt consolidation calculator to see how much you could save per month.
