"I was told I can get a Cash-Out on my refinacing with my mortgage. How does this work, and will I have higher payments?"
Refinancing with Cash Out is an option but if you are borrowing more than 70% of your home's value, you can expect a little bit higher of an interest rate than if you weren't refinancing with cash out.
A "cash-out" Refinance simply means you taking a loan out against your home, the interest rates are a lot lower than a personal loan and the term can be stretched out longer therefore reducing the monthly payment compared to other loans.
Many borrowers choose to take cash out of their properties when values are high to allow them to take profits from the appreciation of their real estate, without paying income taxes on the proceeds of the cash out refinance loan. This is a commonly used strategy amongst high net worth individuals.
