Discover Home Loans pays all closing costs incurred during the loan process, so that you don’t have to bring any cash to your loan closing.
In the event that you decide to pay off your loan balance in full within 36 months after your loan closes, you will be required to reimburse Discover for some of the closing costs that we are paying on your behalf, not to exceed $500.00.
Reimbursable closing costs will include all title fees, recording fees, and mortgage/transfer taxes. If you reside in Connecticut, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, or Texas you are not required to reimburse the closing costs.

A cash out refinance is when you take a portion of your home's equity out as cash when refinancing your current mortgage. While a traditional refinanced loan will only be for the amount that you owe on your existing mortgage, a cash-out refinance loan will increase the amount of the loan, allowing you to both pay off your existing mortgage and take a lump-sum payment in cash for the additional amount of the loan. When mortgage rates are low, a cash out refinance may be advantageous over other types of credit like credit card, personal loans, or HELOCs that have a variable rate.
Discover’s cash out refinance loan has a low, fixed rates that never change for the life of the loan, as well as has no cash due at closing.

Refinancing your home mortgage allows you to pay off your original mortgage with a new loan. Typically, people refinance their original mortgage loan for one or more reasons:
- to earn a better interest rate,
- to convert a variable rate to a fixed rate (or vice-versa),
- to reduce monthly payments by extending the repayment term of the loan , or
- to reduce interest charges paid over the life of the loan by reducing the repayment term of the loan.
- Main
-
A traditional refinance loan will fully repay the outstanding balance on your current mortgage with a new loan at typically better rates or terms. A cash-out refinance does the same thing, but also allows you to take out an additional amount that you can receive as a lump-sum payment. The additional amount will be included in your new loan balance and can be used for a variety of different purposes like debt consolidation, home improvement or making a large purchase.

Typically, lenders will use your Combined Loan-to-Value (CLTV) ratio to understand your ability to take on new debt. To generate your CLTV on your own, follow these steps:
- Add up the balances on all your existing home loans such as first mortgages, second mortgages or home equity lines of credit. This is your combined loan value.
- Find the estimated value for your home. You can use an online tool, compare the sale cost of similar homes in your neighborhood, or pay for an official estimate.
- Divide your combined loan amount by your estimated home value to calculate your current CLTV.
Once you know your current CLTV, you need to find out the maximum CLTV allowed by your cash-out refinance lender. Many lenders will cap any lending at 80% of your CLTV, but Discover Home Loans allows for loans up to 90% of CLTV. Use your lender’s maximum CLTV percentage and multiply that by your current home’s value to calculate maximum loan amount. When you subtract your existing mortgage balance from that maximum loan amount, you will see exactly how much cash can be obtained through cash-out refinance.

Let’s use the following example to walk through calculations for cash-out refinance (you can substitute your home’s values in the calculations below or use our Refinance Calculator):
A homeowner owes $100,000 on a first-lien mortgage loan and $45,000 on a second-lien home equity loan.
The current home value is $400,000.
The combined loan amount is $100,000 + $45,000 = $145,000.
The current CLTV is $145,000 / $400,000 = 36%.
With Discover you can borrow up to 90% CLTV 0.90 x $400,000 = $360,000 could be taken out against the current value of the home.
Since you owe $145,000 on your existing loans, the maximum cash-out value you can get is $360,000 - $145,000 = $215,000. While the homeowner does not have to take out the full amount available, finding these values for your home can help you understand the limits of your loan application before you apply.
