Your credit history influences how much you can borrow. If you have credit blemishes, your cash out limit may be lower.
Call 888-966-9044 to talk to a Cash Out Professional about how the rules apply in your specific situation.
You may choose to include many closing costs in your loan amount, or pay a higher interest rate and get a credit to cover them.
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 lines of credit) are typically adjustable rate loans. That means the interest rate you pay and your monthly payment can rise. After the draw period, you have to pay not only the interest, but also repay the principal. That can lead to shockingly high monthly payments.
A fixed rate cash out refinance will have the same principal and interest payments. They won't rise even if the Federal Reserve raises rates.
Second mortgages usually have higher interest rates than cash out refinance home loans.
They're usually slightly higher. Mortgage interest rates are based on risk. The more equity you take out of your home, the higher your interest rate may be.
You get a check after you go to closing with a cash out refinance versus bringing cash to the closing table with a purchase a home loan. There's also a three-business-day recission period, meaning you can change your mind. You get your check on the fourth business day after the recission period is over.
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 to pay for is a termite check – and that's only if you're getting a VA home loan in an area where termites live (Alaskans, you're off the hook).
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. Planet Home Lending also has investment property loans based on rental income rather than your personal income. Those are available for experienced real estate investors.

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 with cash out, you have to follow the rules set by VA, FHA, conventional, or a private investor. Their rules cover things like the credit score you need to qualify, how much of your home equity you can borrow, and how big your mortgage can be.
The rules are complicated and change frequently. No worries, though, we know them all and can explain how they apply in your specific situation.

No, you typically can't do a streamline refinance and tap the equity in your home. You use a streamline refinance when you want to pay off your loan faster, lock in a fixed rate, or lower your interest rate, but not to get cash from your home.
The money in your escrow account pays your property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and other important bills.
Three common ways to handle escrows in a refinance:
After your refinance closes and your old home loan gets paid off, your servicer will refund the left-over money in your old escrow account. You can apply that money to your new home loan or use it to pay yourself back for the escrows you set up for the new loan.
If you're already a Planet Home Lending customer, we can roll over your existing escrows to your new home loan.
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.
