How Cash Out Refinances Work
Estimate Your Cash
Estimating the amount of cash you might get from the value of your home’s equity is a great place to start. Also, decide what goals you have for your cash. You can consolidate debt, pay for home upgrades or education, invest in opportunities, and more. Our Loan Advisors can help you understand how much cash you might get.

Apply for a Loan
You’ll need to complete a new mortgage application to get a cash out refinance. We’ll ask you to provide financial documents. We’ll probably order a new home appraisal to determine the current fair market value of your home. You’ll need to read and sign a loan estimate and other documents too.

Close Your Loan
Once your application is complete, we will review your information. You must meet our credit, income, and financial requirements to get approved. Once you’re approved, we’ll send you closing disclosures that state how much cash you’ll get, your new loan terms, your new mortgage payment, and more.

Get Your Cash
You’ll generally get your cash within five days of closing your cash out refinance. You’ll get all your cash as a lump payment. We can wire your cash to a bank account you choose. We can also send you a check for the cash.
