Investment Property Cash-Out Refinance: How to Unlock Your Equity

Why Cash Out a Rental Property?

Your rental property has probably appreciated significantly. A cash-out refinance lets you access that equity as tax-free cash — without selling the property or losing your rental income stream.

Investors commonly use cash-out proceeds to:

  • Purchase additional investment properties
  • Fund renovations to increase rent or resale value
  • Consolidate higher-interest debt
  • Build cash reserves for their portfolio
  • Finance a fix-and-flip project

Cash-Out Refinance vs. HELOC: Which Is Better for Investors?

A HELOC (home equity line of credit) on an investment property is nearly impossible to get from a conventional bank. Most banks only offer HELOCs on primary residences.

A cash-out refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new, larger loan — and you receive the difference in cash at closing. This is the standard approach for non-owner-occupied property equity access.

How Much Can You Take Out?

For investment properties, lenders typically allow up to 75% LTV (loan-to-value) on a cash-out refinance. So if your property is worth $400,000 and you owe $150,000, you could potentially access up to $150,000 in cash.

We offer asset-based cash-out programs with no income verification — qualify based on the property’s value and rental income, not your personal tax returns.

Qualifying Without W-2 Income

Traditional lenders require extensive income documentation. We don’t. Our non-QM cash-out programs qualify investors based on:

  • Property value (LTV-based)
  • Rental income (DSCR qualification)
  • Asset depletion (for retirees and high-net-worth investors)

Credit score minimum is typically 620, though better pricing is available at 680+.
