Benefit

Many lenders offer borrowers the option to cash out their equity, often times all the way up to 100% of the current appraised value of their property. This is an option that is available to all types of borrowers, including those with more challenging credit situations.

DIfferent Loan Options

A borrower can get their 100% cashout refinance with a new loan that might be:

• 30 year fixed
• 5 year fixed, interest only
• minimum payment option loan

A minimum payment option loan allows a borrower to make less than an interest only payment. These types of loans offer a borrower a very low monthly payment. How It Works A 100% cashout refinance loan comes with many different components, including:

• appraisal value
• loan options
• time the property has been possesed

A borrower who has owned a house for 5 months and seen the value increase substantially is not likely to be able to cash out 100% of the new appraisal value. Lenders typically require a borrower to wait for at least 6 months to a year before allowing a cash out. The appraisal value is a critical part of this process, because it determines just what that 100% refinance loan amount will be. Make sure your property is clean and presentable when the appraiser visits the property. The appraisal often has to take pictures of the property from the front and back of the property. If there is a lot of junk on the property, it will show up in the appraisal pictures and lenders may not look on this kindly. Remember that lenders often review the appraisal themselves to double check its value. Sometimes they will raise the appraised value, but most often they will leave the appraised value where it was or sometimes even lower it.
