How this program works.
Investment cash-out replaces eligible rental debt and may release proceeds after payoff and costs. The transaction must remain a qualifying business-purpose investment structure.
Compare the alternative
Compare a full refinance with an available second lien when preserving existing debt matters.
Illustrative example
A $300,000 new loan less $240,000 payoff and $8,000 costs yields $52,000 before other required adjustments; it is not $60,000 free equity.
Important boundaries
