Rental Property Equity
Turn rental-property equity into usable capital.
A DSCR cash-out refinance can replace an existing rental-property loan and provide additional proceeds, with qualification centered on the property’s cash flow, value, requested leverage, and the complete investor profile.
Program overview
How this mortgage review works
A cash-out refinance creates a new first-lien loan that pays off eligible existing debt and may return additional proceeds at closing. The available amount depends on appraised value, eligible payoff balances, requested loan-to-value, property cash flow, ownership history, credit profile, and program limits.
The Deal Desk asks for the estimated value, current mortgage status, payoff balance, ownership seasoning, rent source, monthly rent, taxes, insurance, HOA, and requested loan amount. Those details help separate a realistic cash-out request from a loan amount that may not fit the property.
Cash-out proceeds may be used for eligible business or investment purposes. Final proceeds are reduced by payoff amounts, closing costs, reserves, escrows, and other transaction requirements.

Important context
What to understand before moving forward
- Cash-out limits are often more conservative than purchase or rate-and-term limits
- Recent ownership, listing history, or transfers may affect available proceeds
- The property must remain non-owner-occupied and business purpose
- Final cash to borrower is determined after all payoffs, costs, escrows, and reserves
Questions about DSCR Cash-Out Refinance
How is the new loan amount calculated?
The new loan generally includes eligible payoff balances plus requested cash-out, subject to value, leverage, cash flow, and program limits.
Does ownership seasoning matter?
Yes. How long the property has been owned and how title was acquired can affect value treatment and cash-out eligibility.
Can I cash out a free-and-clear property?
A free-and-clear rental property may be reviewed. Ownership history, value, cash flow, and use of proceeds still matter.
Can I use proceeds to buy another property?
Eligible business-purpose uses may include additional real estate investment, subject to program and closing requirements.
Can short-term-rental income support cash-out?
Some programs may consider eligible short-term-rental history or approved market-rent support.
Is the online amount a commitment?
No. It is a planning estimate. Final proceeds require appraisal, payoff verification, title, and underwriting approval.
