Hi all, 

I am looking to refinance a SFR at 85% LTV. Does anyone know of any lenders that are licensed in Michigan that can make that happen?

Thanks,

Cameron Amateis

Typically, the maximum loan-to-value ratio for a conventional cash out refinance is 80% and for VA it can go up to 90%. Fannie Mae had for awhile a high LTV refinance option. However, due to the low volume and the impact of the Revised QM Rule, they have paused the acquisition of high LTV refinance loans.

Try a private lender you know, that may do this.

@Dave Skow

Hey Dave, I would like it to be a rental, however I’m having trouble finding a rate that works with the market rent. I pretty much break even with everything I’m finding. The rehab took longer than expected, rates went up, and values decreased slightly since I bought it.

It is possible as a second mortgage. Up to 85% CLTV for full doc loans. Max Cash out is about $450,000

If you can refi with an 85% LTV and still have positive cash flow, take it and run with it.

 Even if you breakeven/slightly negative in cash flow -- sounds solid to take the money. Rents will likely continue to increase which will help if the goal is long term hold.

85% is very unusual.  Will be tough to find.
