Refinancing for a cash out:

Cashing out refinance is were you ask for some of the homes equity; to do things like home improvement or pay some debit maybe even buy a car. Whatever you do it for the interest you pay on your mortgage is tax deductible.

If you are taking cash out, your loan will be limited to either 95% or 85% of the appraised value, depending on your qualifications. However with todays banking crisis most banks are making it 85%. Also you would have to roll in the closing cost within that 85%.

203K Loan – Rehab Program:

This type of loan is only offered through FHA approved lenders. This loan program is used to rehabilitate distressed properties; that would appraise for the purchase price plus the amount of the rehabilitation, once the work is completed.

Streamline 203K Loan :
