@Kyle C thomas lenders are becoming more strict on FICO scores so that is plausible but as stated above, DSCR would be a solid option if your credit can meet the minimums.

What's your credit score and what loan to value do you need?  Lower loan to value is going to get you less cash, but get you away from the seller if that's the goal.

Hi Kyle, DSCR refi could work (works for 1-10 units).  What's your credit score? You can PM me the details of your scenario for review if you would like.

Requirements For Cash-Out Refinance The requirements you may face for a cash-out refinance will heavily depend on the loan’s purpose. However, other factors also come into play. Here’s a rundown on what you should expect your lender to pay attention to.Loan-To-Value RatioIf you want to refinance or take cash out, you need to build home equity first. Home equity is the difference between the amount you owe on your loan and the value of your home. Lenders measure this as a loan-to-value ratio (LTV).LTV acts like the opposite of your home’s equity. So, for instance, if you paid off 20% of your current mortgage, then you would have an LTV of 80%. Although, there are some exceptions. If you owe more on your home than it’s worth, refinancing is not an option.Credit ScoreIf you’re considering refinancing, you already know that a credit score is essential when borrowing. It’s a crucial factor in getting approved for a mortgage. Generally, the higher your score, the lower the interest rates you’ll have to pay.Every lender is different and may ask for a unique minimum credit score. Although you want to aim for a higher score, there are lenders who accept lower ones.Income And AssetsAnother factor your lender will focus on is your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. This measures the amount of income put towards revolving and installment debts, such as car payments or credit cards.Your lender wants to ensure you have sufficient funds. So, they also create reserve requirements. A reserve is a savings balance held until after you close your property purchase – an emergency fund. If you don’t have enough, you may not be able to move forward with your refinancing.Usually, your rental income can also count towards this reserve amount. But you must meet the lender’s documentation guidelines.

All the best!

Try to find a lender that will do a DSCR loan. They care more about the property than you. Where are you located?
