Cash Out Refinance for Real Estate Investors

Cash-out refinancing is a powerful strategy for real estate investors to tap equity and scale their portfolios. It's a core component of the BRRRR strategy.

How Cash Out Refinance Works

  1. Property is appraised at current value
  2. New loan is taken at 75-80% of appraised value
  3. Old loan is paid off
  4. Difference (minus closing costs) is your cash out

BRRRR Strategy Example

  • Buy distressed property for $150,000
  • Invest $50,000 in rehab (total: $200,000)
  • Property appraises at $280,000 after rehab
  • Cash-out refi at 75% = $210,000 new loan
  • Pay off original loan, pull out $10,000 profit
  • Reinvest in next property - repeat!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I cash out refinance on an investment property?

Most lenders allow up to 75-80% LTV on investment property cash-out refinances. So if your property is worth $400,000, you could potentially get a loan up to $320,000 (80% LTV). Your cash out is the new loan minus your existing balance.

What are cash out refinance rates for investment properties?

Investment property cash-out refinance rates are typically 0.5-1% higher than primary residence rates. Expect rates to be higher than purchase loans. Rates improve with larger down payments and better credit scores.

How does cash out refi work with BRRRR?

In BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), you cash-out refinance after adding value through rehab. Ideally, the new appraised value lets you pull out all your invested capital, achieving "infinite returns" on that property.

What is the seasoning period for cash out refinance?

Most lenders require 6-12 months of ownership before cash-out refinancing. Some DSCR lenders allow shorter seasoning periods. The appraisal will use the lower of purchase price or current value until seasoning is met.

Should I do a cash out refinance or HELOC?

Cash out refi gives you a lump sum with fixed payments - good for reinvesting in new properties. HELOC gives flexible access to equity - good for ongoing projects. Consider rates, fees, and your investment timeline.
