How to Cash Out before 6 Months

Question

Hi, I’m a first time cash buyer who bought 2 properties with my name on the property but am using private funding from parents as well (I pay them a monthly interest rate). I didn’t know about the 6 month refinance rule for cash buyers. I’d really like to cash-out refinance sooner than 6 months. Is there any way around it? Thanks in advance.

Use a non qualifying loan like a DSCR. If you paid the house cash you’ll be able to cash out in a month

@Dan Curren you can refinance before the 6 months.  I also wrote a post on this topic that we have been using for several years now that you can read HERE.  Let me know what you think.

If you're looking to get back the money you spent to acquire the property, then delayed financing may suit you well. For SFR's, you can get back the lower amount of up to 75% of the ARV or what you paid for the property plus closings costs. For MFR's it's 70% ARV.

If you'd like to do a cash out refi on the ARV of the property after making improvements, read this post.

It's impossible to project the rate. ARM rates aren't too great right now. Unless your parents need the money back right away their loan is the best thing you can have for next 5 years especially for an investment property. If they need some of the money back that's when you want to cash-out refinance. As I said,the MAIN question is are you buying under value and rehabbing it to see if there is cash to be pulled out. If the value isn't there no lender is going to finance over 80% so your parents wouldn't be able to get all of their money back through the refinance either way.You can still cash out but 99% of the lenders will finance 75% of purchase price within the 6 months. I have one lender that can do no seasoning if you made improvements on it and another at 3months mark with exceptions. If there isn't value added and if you can't get the appraisal value (to make 75-80% LTV) you will not be able to pay your parents their total principal back within the first 6 months.

Most lenders will push for delayed financing prior to 6 months. I work with specifically 2 lenders that will allow cash-out at current appraised value. One of them there is 0 seasoning requirement and another one on exception basis starting month 3. When did you buy the property?

Hey Dan

You can refinance and take cash out up to 75% of the appraised value in 3 months.  Anything before that will be costly.

Your clock starts ticking when you close.

Have a lien like you said and pay on time using easily traceable methods like checks or even Venmo.

@Dan Curren you have a few options but lenders now a days for DSCR based loan programs are 3-4 months ownership seasoning. Either 80% LTV (new appraised value) for Rate and Term or 75% LTV cash out. You can start the loan process prior to the seasoning limit so you close the new loan by the time the seasoning limit is met.
