Mortgage refinancing, meaning aquiring a new loan to replace an existing loan either for a change in terms or to pull out cash dependent on amount of equity, some of the other terms you are asking about seem a little odd. Upside down loan mortgage, An upside down loan would be a loan that was approved on a certain appraisal and suddenly that property no longer retains the value originally placed on it, it's lost equity and you owe more than it's worth.

5. A variable rate changes whenever the index it's tied to changes. Indices include LIBOR or CMT. Generally there's no cap. A fixed rate never changes for the entire term of the loan. There's also an Adjustable Rate Loan, which is usually fixed for some period of time, 3 years or 5 years for instance, then adjusts on a regular basis, every 6 months or a year. There is generally a cap for each adjustment and for the overall rate. Mortgage is lending...it's lending money for people to buy houses or refinance them. Refinancing is making a new loan for an existing mortgage. The new loan replaces the existing one, either lowering the rate or payment, or including additional funds for the borrower's use. You could just search these terms for yourself, but I'm kind of bored in my last 15 minutes at work.
