Preparing for my first cash out refinance. Not fun...
So I have been driving myself nuts working on the duplex I "house hacked" before I knew it had a name. New kitchen, dealing with tenants schedule, changing the new stove from gas to propane, ect. I owe $150k. The most recent comp nearby was $235k and there is a triplex for sale for $330k so its kind of all over the place.
So when I ask banks about the cash out refi I get the question, Is this an investment home. Yes? Ohhhh Ok. Followed by a low 70% LTV. Now I keep hearing 80% LTV, even 90% LTV in podcasts! but that has not been my result. Should I be looking for something or saying something else.

You say you "house hacked" and also that it is an "investment property." Which is it? Do you owner occupy this property? If so, you will find better interest rates.
It is also possible to get a regular vanilla mortgage on a duplex, without hard money rates.
I'm local to you. What lenders have you connected? When I was looking to do a recent refinance, I created a file with every single lender in the county, and a few that were in Tampa. My numbers are now stale as it has been a few months, but my point is to pick up the phone and start calling.
I have pasted my list of lenders below. Verify any numbers yourself, as I have been building this file for years. Also, any quotes are gleaned from BP members, not my opinion. Noo means "non owner occupied" OO means "owner occupied" LTV is "loan to value"

I was originally turned off by their upfront fees (see my earlier post), but I got past that a little and wanted to give them a shot for a deal. Then they told me that they typically close in 30-45, and I said, "Goodbye." That's essentially a conventional loan, but conventional products for rehabbing (i.e. 203k and HomeStyle Renovation) are cheaper. So the market they operate in just doesn't make sense; they can't beat the banks, and they can't beat the hard money lenders." extremely poor communication, incredibly slow, and much like working with a typical bank -- but worse. They keep asking for docs I have supplied multiple times, have missed 2 closing deadlines, ask for info they told me they didn't need for commercial loans, and I really regret getting involved with them now.

QuickenLoans go to 10 loans and have had good rates. "Quicken loans is incredibly fast and easy to work with. Also they are the ONLY lender I have found to refi rental properties into investment loans who accepts no down payment when you have enough equity in a property. This is incredibly useful for hard-money purchases to refi out to a conventional loan and hold the property."
US Bank “I bought 18 properties in 9 months and used a commercial lender. It was not a portfolio loan, they are individual standard commercial loans but I did 3-5 at the same time. So like once a quarter I would start looking for properties, find 1-2 anchor properties and put them under contract with a 60 day closing. Then I would spend the next 30 days seeing if anything else would fit my criteria.
Commercial loans are typically not for new investors, so you may need a few properties and a few years under your belt before the banks will work with you. ” BS
