- A limited cash out allows you to take a limited amount of $2,000 or 2 percent of the loan amount, whichever is smallest. You can apply for a fixed or variable interest rate with cash out refinancing loan terms varying from 10 to 40 years.
- A limited cash out refinance can allow you to pay off small debts or purchase low cost items to redecorate your home at a lower interest rate than a cash out refinance and with fewer restrictions.
- Equity in your home is the difference between what you owe to the mortgage lender and what your home is worth. There must be enough equity in your property to support the refinance or your application will be rejected.
Different lenders will have different requirements in terms of your ownership status when applying for a limited cash out refinance so it is important to clarify there with the lender to ensure you are eligible before applying. You will need to have a good credit history. It is likely that you will have to have owned your property for a minimum term of 6 months before you can apply and be completely up to date with your repayments.
