@Katherine S.The general practice we follow with residential properties is "if we have an {almost} immediate use for all the equity that we can/would withdraw from a property, we will refinance and place a mortgage to obtain a more favourable interest rate"  ... here, that means locking-in for a maximum of 5-yrs (no one takes a 10yr term) ... for you it frequently means locking-in for the amortization of the mortgage.
