What is a California Cash-Out Refinance?

How does a California Cash-Out Refinance work?
For example, if you owe $200,000 on your home and it’s now worth $400,000. Let’s assume that refinancing your current mortgage means a lower interest rate and you decide to use the cash to renovate your home. Lenders generally require you to maintain at least 20 percent equity in your home after a cash-out refinance, so you will be able to withdraw up to $120,000 in cash (minus closing costs that range from 3% to 6%).
For example:
Your home is worth $400,000 and you can get a refinance loan for up to 80% of the value.
$400,000 x 80% = $320,000
Minus $200,000 to pay off your current loan, so $320,000 – $200,000 = $120,000
Minus Closing costs of ranging from about 3% to 6% of closing costs, let’s just use 5% for closing costs, so minus the $120,000 x 6% = $6,000
Minus the $6,000 in closing costs, so $120,000 – $6,000 = for a net cash-out of $114,000.
How can I spend the money from a Cash-Out Refinance?
Cash-Out Refinance Loans allow you to take cash out of your home equity to take care of concerns like paying off debt, auto or personal loans, credit card debt, making home improvements, make a large purchase or funding school for you or your family. Do whatever you please with the funds!
