In certain situations additional lien on credit and excessive trade lines can cause future DTI issues, lower scores and denials on future loans.The rates our lower on mortgages versus Heloc right now and the terms are longer for example 30 year mortgage versus a 8-10 year Heloc and most carry prepayment penalties so if you want to pay it off early they can hit you with a prepay penalty of 6% or higher.Refinance allows you to have cash in hand and avoid the scary "What if" factor meaning loss job, lost income, late payment, over leveraged and if any of these things happen your credit limit gets reduced and in most cases closed completely.
