FHA Cash-Out · Flexible Credit · Primary Residence

Tap your equity, the FHA way.

FHA cash-out refinancing turns your home equity into cash to pay off high-interest debt — with credit guidelines more forgiving than conventional. For owner-occupied 1–4 unit homes.

  • FHA Streamline — minimal docs, no appraisal, all credit considered — even on a former home you now rent out
  • Payment history matters: no late payments in the last 12 months — on all accounts
  • FHA cash-out — access your equity with forgiving credit guidelines
  • Credit still rebuilding? FHA reads your story, not just your score
  • 1–4 unit owner-occupied — rental units on the property help you qualify
  • Rate & term refinancing available too

Directional estimates only — not a rate quote or commitment to lend. Assumes a 30-year FHA loan: 1.75% upfront MIP financed into the loan and annual MIP auto-selected from your loan amount and LTV per HUD tiers — 0.50%/0.55% for base loans up to $726,200, and 0.70%/0.75% above that — paid monthly. FHA cash-out refinances are limited to 80% LTV and require owner occupancy and no late payments in the last 12 months. Escrow estimates use your tax rate and insurance figures; actual impounds set at closing. Principal & interest shown only at a rate you enter and is not an offer of that rate.

Straight Answers Up Front

Can we fund your deal? Check before you apply.

We'd rather tell you now than waste your time. Here's our lending box, plainly stated.

We can help with:

  • Financing at 620+ FICO — primary homes and investment properties
  • DSCR investment deals at any credit score — LTV is capped by credit tier; below 620 FICO caps at 50% LTV
  • Investment property refinances — flexible credit, conditional lending available below 620
  • FHA requires no late payments in the last 12 months on all accounts (mortgage, cards, auto)
  • Primary-home refinances under 620 FICO — California properties only
  • HEA — credit accepted from the 500s; your FICO band sets the maximum OLTV (60–75%)
  • Reverse mortgages — any credit score, primary residence, current balance under 50% of home value
  • Loan amounts from $75,000 up to $20,000,000 (HELOC capped at $5M, DSCR at $3M, HEA at $600K)

We're not the right fit for:

  • New financing under 620 FICO (except DSCR investment deals, capped at 50% LTV)
  • Primary-home refinances under 620 FICO outside California
  • Loan amounts under $75,000

If your score improves, come back — we'd genuinely love to take another look. Questions about a gray-area scenario? Call 949-738-9770.

Questions, Answered

Before you ask.

Will checking my options hurt my credit?

No. Seeing your options involves no hard credit pull. A hard inquiry only happens later, with your permission, when you move forward with an application.

How fast can I actually get funded?

It depends on the program. Our HELOC can fund in as little as 5 business days. Other programs typically run 2–4 weeks. On your call we'll give you a realistic timeline for your exact scenario.

What does this cost me?

Checking your options costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If you proceed, all program costs are disclosed to you up front before you sign anything — no surprises at closing.

What happens to my information?

It goes to our team — and only our team — to price your scenario. We never sell your information to third parties. See our Privacy Policy.

I'm self-employed and banks keep saying no. Can you help?

That's our specialty. P&L-only loans need one document from your CPA — no tax returns, no bank statements. DSCR loans qualify on the rent, not your income. And our HEA accepts credit from the 500s.

Fast. Flexible. Funded.

Whether you're tapping equity or repositioning the portfolio — check your options in 60 seconds, with no hard credit pull.
