?? Elaborate please. Do you mean since your home is now worth 100k more, that you owe 100k less in your mortgage? That's not how it works. Mortgage is a loan and will remain the same regardless on whether if your home value goes up or goes down

If you refinance and cash out to pay the mortgage, sure. But why you have another loan.

No. But you can use the increased value if your home to buy a cheaper home with no mortgage

Only if you were paying PMI and the value increase is enough to stop paying it and instead you put the PMI amount towards your principal.

How do you do this? Currently paying pmi as a first time owner.

Do you mean take the equity out? You would owe what ever you take out.

Will you be able to rebuy at your original value?

If you have a mortgage under 4% why not keep it? Inflation is over 8%.

Thanks all, makes sense.

You can pull out equity to buy another property (leverage), but you'll still owe that money back to the bank. Hypothetically, I guess (don't do this) you could pull out all your equity, yolo it in the stock or crypto market, and use the proceeds to pay off both the mortgage and HELOC... But stock markets do go down....

What D1 said ^ if you are paying pmi, paying for a reappraisal might allow for additional payments towards principal. Have to weigh cost/benefit on cost of appraisal, PMI %, and when you will reach 20% equity on purchase appraisal value vs estimated reappraisal

You can refinance from a 30 to 15 year, but whatever cash you take out goes back on the loan. You also need to think about closing costs, but no you can't refinance to take the cash to pay off your mortgage.

What some people do if they have a low balance is they use a HELOC to pay off the mortgage balance and pay the HELOC off aggressively. I wouldn’t recommend it if your not paying it down quickly. HELOC interest is simple interest. Something to consider if you have a low balance, want to pay off your home, and tap into the equity. Doesn’t sound like you have a low balance in your situation.

If your house went up 40% in price and you could sell 40% of the house then yes.

Or you could sell the whole house, payoff the mortgage, and take the remaining money to buy your house again at its original price you paid earlier. Oh wait, never mind.

I'm able to buy the house all cash or at least 50% down (credit is low) and assuming closing costs are not that big a deal at this price point. If my math is correct then buying comes out to be better in this situation but I've never owned any RE before so wondering what else I might be missing.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

I thought of cross posting this to get better response.
