by refinancing with SoFi.
What is refinancing?
You may have heard the term refinancing before and been unsure what this is or if it is right for you. Refinancing can sounds complicated, but at its simplest, it is simply taking out a new loan with better terms to pay off an older, worse loan.
Refinancing a loan may be a good option for you if any of the following 3 things apply to you: -You want to take advantage of a better interest rate or loan terms -You want to consolidate other debt(s) into one loan -To reduce or alter risk (by switching from a variable-rate to a fixed-rate loan) (Some people also refinance to reduce the monthly repayment amount to free up cash, although we advocate paying as much as you are able to towards high interest debt) In most circumstances, there is no downside to getting a quote to see if you can refinance.
