This guide covers cash-out refinance mortgage guidelines. Cash homebuyers are the home buyers of choice for any home seller and home seller’s realtor. Cash buyers normally can get the winning bid on a property with multiple offers. Home sellers normally take a lower offer on a multi-offer to a cash buyer with no contingencies. Most buyers do not want to tie up their cash on a home purchase. However, many buyers do have the means of pulling the cash together to purchase a home cash. Often, they may want to do a cash-out refinance right after their purchase.

Waiting Period Requirements on Cash-Out Refinance

Many home buyers assume that if they purchase a home with cash, they can turn around and do a cash-out refinance the next day. They often borrow money from family, relatives, or close friends and will pay them back right after they close by doing a cash-out refinance. Unfortunately, cash-out refinance rules and regulations have changed after the major 2008 real estate market collapse. There are strict rules about doing a cash-out refinance after a home purchase. There are mandatory waiting periods to do a refinance mortgage. This is for both Conventional and FHA mortgage loan programs.

FHA Loan Refinance Mortgage

FHA loan programs have a 6 month waiting period for a rate and term refinance mortgage. The maximum loan to value on a rate and term FHA Refinance Mortgage is 97.75% LTV.

  • To do a cash-out FHA Loan refinance mortgage, there is a 12 month waiting period
  • The maximum cash-out loan to value on an FHA loan refinance mortgage is capped at 85% LTV
  • The property cannot be listed on the market on any refinance loans

Conventional Loan Refinance

How to refinance conventional loans

To do a rate and term, as well as a cash-out, refinance, there is a six month waiting period after a home purchase.

  • The maximum loan to value on a conventional cash-out refinance is 80% loan to value
  • Two appraisals may be required depending on the conventional lender

Fannie Mae Delayed Financing Mortgage Program: No Waiting Period For Cash-Out Refinance
