Essentially the two loans are one in the same. Both programs offer the same process, timeline to close, and requirements, with the purposes being the greatest difference. Rate & Term Refinances are generally used to payoff an existing loan balance, while keeping the balance low and receiving a better rate. Cash-Out Refinances are best utilized when there is existing equity (value) in the property.

What can’t you do? Once the loan is complete, the money is yours to spend however you like. Many investors see the opportunity to cash-out of a property as a major win, and choose to acquire more rental units, focus on their next flip or new construction project, or treat themselves to a well earned vacation.

AFC’s Cash-Out Refinance Program follows some of the same procedures and guidelines as your typical bank loan, sharing many of their advantages and few of the disadvantages. Our refinances have a few distinct advantages including but not limited to; the ability to close quickly (within 30 days), our loans being considered “lite doc” with no tax returns or income statements required, and the fact that our loans are completed to an LLC/Corp that will never reflect on an individual’s personal credit.

As in our rental program, we have a variety on terms that will fit any investors needs. These range from 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1 ARM’s to a 30 Year Fixed Rate loan. In any case, the amortization schedule (how the loan is priced) is set to 30 years, ensuring the lowest possible payment.
