About this calculator

Cash-out refinance: replace existing loan with a new bigger one, take the difference as cash. Investors use it to pull equity out for the next deal (BRRRR's "Refi" step). Conventional cash-out: max 75-80% LTV on investment property; 80% on primary. Closing costs run 2-5% of new loan. Often makes sense when property has appreciated significantly or rates have dropped. Note: extends loan amortization (resetting clock) and increases monthly payment if not careful.

Frequently asked

Max LTV?+
Conventional cash-out: 75% investment, 80% primary residence. Some portfolio lenders go to 85% on owner-occ.
When does it make sense?+
Property appreciated > 25% since purchase, you have a target use for the cash, and new rate is acceptable.
Tax implications?+
Cash-out is not income (it's debt). Interest deductible if "used to buy/improve home" (per IRS). For investment property: typically deductible against rental income.
Effect on monthly payment?+
Larger loan + possibly higher rate = higher payment. Compare new payment to rental income carefully.
Versus HELOC?+
HELOC: keep old mortgage, draw on equity flexibly. Cash-out: replace old mortgage entirely. HELOC better for variable needs; cash-out better for lump.
