How Cash-Out Refinancing Works

Replace your existing mortgage with a new, larger loan and pocket the difference in cash

1

Calculate Your Equity

Determine how much equity you have: subtract your current mortgage balance from your home's current market value.

Home Value: $450,000
- Mortgage Balance: $250,000
= Total Equity: $200,000
2

Determine Cash Available

Lenders typically allow you to borrow up to 80% of your home's value (some allow 85-90%). Calculate available cash:

Home Value × 80%: $360,000
- Current Mortgage: $250,000
= Cash Available: $110,000
3

Refinance & Receive Cash

Your new mortgage pays off the old one, and you receive the difference as a lump sum at closing.

New Loan Amount: $360,000
- Pays Off Old Loan: $250,000
= Cash to You: $110,000

Cash-Out Refinance Requirements

Minimum Equity

At least 20% equity remaining after cash-out. Most lenders allow max 80% LTV, meaning you must keep 20% equity in your home.

Credit Score

Minimum 620 for conventional loans. Higher scores (740+) get better rates. FHA cash-out requires 580+ credit score.

Debt-to-Income (DTI)

Max 43-50% DTI depending on lender. Your new mortgage payment + debts must not exceed this percentage of your gross income.

Home Appraisal

New appraisal required to determine current market value. Your available cash depends on appraisal matching or exceeding expected value.

Closing Costs

Expect 2-5% of new loan amount in closing costs (appraisal, title, origination fees). Can sometimes be rolled into loan.

Ownership Time

Typically must own home for 6-12 months before cash-out refi. Some lenders have "seasoning" requirements.
