We've answered some of the most common questions investors ask to help you feel confident moving forward.
No, Texas does not regulate cash-out refinancing for investment properties or second homes. Currently, the law applies solely to primary residences.
Homeowners can use this loan program to start a business, reinvest in an REI project, or buy out a co-owner after a split. Additionally, mortgage-interest deductions can be leveraged when cash is reinvested into a property.
Yes, real estate investors can pull cash from an investment property with cash-out refinancing. Houston REIs use this tactic often to take advantage of different opportunities. However, there are restrictions that apply in Texas.
Texas cash-out refinance loans come with specific rules—they only apply to your primary residence, can’t exceed 80% of your home’s value, and require a six-month waiting period after purchase and one year between cash-out loans. Closing costs are limited to 2% of the loan amount, all liens must be paid off, and you’ll need to wait several years after a foreclosure, short sale, or bankruptcy to qualify.
