Hello BPers,

I'm a newbie, planning on buying my first SFR in the next 4 months. I'm working on the financing with my bank and I already have my eyes on a property.

Here are the financing options offered by my bank:

1. cash out refi. I have about 100k equity on my house and my bank is offering to refinance the house, apr 3.75% on 15 years or 4.75% on 30 years and give me 60k in cash. Now my mortgage is a 15 year at 3.5%. I read that cash out refi is only worth it if the interest offered is lower than the original one. 

do you think I should accept this option, considering that i also have to pay the refi fees? I'm inclined to say Nay!!!

2. They also want to offer me a HELOC with a 100k limit. I dont know the other details yet. we'll talk about it tomorrow.

3. They plan on giving me an unsecured LOC with 80k limit.

4. Last and more importantly, they are offering up to 4 residential type mortgages at less than 4% interest rate for 30 years. 

My request to the banker was very specific: I want financing options with almost 100% financing. This is what she offered. What do you think? How would you proceed if you were me.

I'd like to buy my first property before the end of the year and have 4 properties in thenext 12 months.

Thank you very much in advance
