Should I count on refinancing later?

Published October 1, 2026 · 1 minute read

The answer

Treat refinancing as a potential option rather than a required rescue plan. Future rates, lender standards, property values, and your circumstances may differ from expectations. A project that only works after a favorable refinance contains substantial uncertainty.

Evaluate the current financing across the intended holding period and include exit costs. If refinancing is part of the strategy, state the assumptions explicitly.
