The no seasoning requirement only applies for a delayed financing exception, in which case you must close the refi within 6 months of purchase. In that case you pay cash for the house though the cash can theoretically can be borrowed from other sources as long as no lien on the subject property and you pay off those other sources with closing proceeds. You are limited to purchase price plus closing costs or the allowed LTV per guidelines, whichever is less (typically 80-75-70 depending on number of financed properties etc.). Google "Delayed Financing Exception" for details.
This is for confirming Fannie/Freddie loans.
Many lenders will do rate/term refi with no seasoning if you have only short term financing in place.
