A cash out refinance is a type of mortgage loan that lets you take advantage of the equity you've built over time, allowing you to convert it to cash in exchange for taking on a larger loan balance.
When you refinance and cash out, you borrow more money based on the current value of your home, but typically, at lower rates than those for credit cards or personal loans.
Wondering how much cash you can pull from your home or how long it takes to refinance?

There is no official minimum credit score to get a VA or FHA refinance. Instead, the rules let Planet Home Lending look at your overall credit report. That's why we can offer home loans to people across a broad credit spectrum.
HELOCs (Home Equity Line of Credit) are typically adjustable-rate loans. That means the interest rate you pay, and your monthly payment, can rise (or fall) depending on rate fluctuations.
A fixed-rate cash out refinance will have the same principal and interest payments throughout the life of the loan. The interest rate won't rise even if the Federal Reserve increases rates.
Home equity loans usually have higher interest rates than cash out home loans, but they can be a good choice if you have a low interest rate on your first mortgage.
When you refinance and cash out some of your equity, you’ll receive a lump sum check after you close on your loan. There's also a three-business-day recission period, meaning you can change your mind up to three days after you sign your loan documents. You’ll receive your check on the fourth business day after the recission period is over.
With a purchase loan, you may need to bring cash (likely in the form of a cashier’s check) to your loan closing, but your loan proceeds will be wired to the home’s seller or the mortgage company that held the note on the home.
Remember all those inspections you paid for when you bought your home — the home inspection, the radon inspection, the lead-based paint inspection, etc.? You won't have to do those again. The only inspection you might have is a termite check — and that's only if you're getting a VA home loan in an area where termites are prevalen. Other than that, the home loan process is pretty much the same.
Yes, you may be able to use a cash out refinance to buy a rental property or to pull cash from an investment home you already own. Planet Home Lending also offers investment property loans based on rental income rather than personal income. These types of loans are available for experienced real estate investors.
Want to compare a cash out refinance to an income property purchase loan? We can show you that.
Call 888-966-9044 to speak with a Planet Loan Specialist who understands the pros and cons of both options.
Planet's Investor Advantage loans let experienced property owners cash out equity from a rental property. You qualify for the loan based on your rental income rather than your personal income.
There's no limit to the number of financed properties you can already own (although Planet can only lend money on up to six additional properties via our Investor Advantage loan program).
Yes, if you have good credit, you may be able to borrow up to 75% of a second home's value. The higher your credit score, the more likely you are to be able to borrow the maximum amount.

When you refinance a mortgage and decide to cash out some of your equity, you must follow the rules set by the VA, FHA, conventional lenders, or a private investor. Their rules cover items such as the credit score you need to qualify, how much of your home equity you can access, and the maximum loan amount you can borrow.
There are a lot of rules, and they change often. No worries, though, we can explain how they apply in your specific situation.

A streamline refinance may be available for a homeowner who wants to refinance their VA or FHA loan. Typically, you can't do a streamline refinance and access the equity in your home. If you want to pay off your loan faster by shortening your loan term, or lock in a fixed rate, or lower your interest rate, a streamline refinance might be a good choice.
If you're already a Planet Home Lending customer, we can roll over your existing escrow balance to your new loan.
The money in your escrow account pays your property taxes and homeowner's insurance.
After your refinance closes and your previous home loan gets paid off, your mortgage servicer will refund the remaining money in your prior escrow account. You can either apply that money to your new home loan balance or use it to pay yourself back for the escrow amounts collected at closing for your new loan.
Planet Home Lending’s friendly loan specialists are experienced, knowledgeable professionals who deliver exceptional customer service. They are standing by to answer any questions you have. Call 888-966-9044
1 A debt consolidation refinance increases your mortgage debt, reduces equity, and extends the term on shorter-term debt and secures such debts with your home. The relative benefits you receive from debt consolidation will vary depending on your individual circumstances. You should consider that a debt consolidation loan may increase the total number of monthly payments and the total amount paid over the term of the loan. To enjoy the benefits of a debt consolidation loan, you should not carry new credit card or high interest rate debt.
