You can refinance the mortgage on your investment property to increase the cash flow of your investment. Use the cash from your home equity to finance other investment property, home improvements, pay off high-interest debt, college tuition and more.

Long-term interest rates have been at near historic low levels for quite some time and thus, more people are looking for places to rent, making it easy to benefit from these investments. Your investment property loan may have terms that were very attractive when you first made the purchase, but due to changing market conditions may no longer be as favorable as they could be today. When interest rates fall, refinancing the mortgage on your investment property becomes very attractive because refinancing offers ways to leverage the equity in your property, lower your monthly payment and increase your cash flow.

The home equity in your investment property can be used to fund improvements to your property and boost your cash flow. The great benefit of refinancing and making home improvements to your investment property is that it increases its market value, thereby allowing you to increase the amount of rent you charge to your tenants.
