By Nat Criss – September, 29th 2010. Back when I was in the mortgage industry we would get calls daily from individuals looking to cash-out some of the equity in their investment properties.
Cash-out refinance If you have built equity in your property, this type of loan allows you to refinance your mortgage for a larger amount. You’ll receive a sum of cash equal to the difference between the old and new loans.
The cash you receive can be used for anything, including buying an investment property. Here’s what you need to think about to make this work for you: The different rules on investment properties Primary mortgage insurance doesn’t apply to investment properties, so you’ll need at least 20 percent down before you buy.
Down Payment Needed For Investment Property Homebuyers traditionally need to put down 20% of the home value for a down payment. It’s important to note, however, that the more you can put down, the better odds you have at securing a decent interest rate on your investment property loan.
A Texas cash-out refinance loan is also called a Section 50(a)(6) loan. With this option, you refinance your current mortgage while also tapping into your home’s equity. This tapped equity converts.
A cash out refinance can be done on a primary residence, second home (vacation home), and investment property. The max loan to value ratio will depend on property type, occupancy, and credit score. Example: if you have perfect credit, and it’s a 2 unit investment property, you may be limited to 70% loan to value.
One thing you must know about taking cash out of your investment home is that lenders require a waiting period. You must wait six months from the time that you purchase the home to tap into the home’s equity.
