Keeping a low rate: a Wyoming example

On a typical $309,700 home with $155,000 left on a 3.5% mortgage, borrowing $50,000 with a HELOC instead of a cash-out refinance saves about $109 a month:

Option	Monthly cost
Keep the 3.5% mortgage, add a $50,000 HELOC (7.75% APR, 20-year payoff)	$1,186
Cash-out refinance of $205,000 (6.5% illustrative rate, 30 years)	$1,296
