Pulling equity from home for home improvements.

Saul Solis
Posted

Hey Guys my name is Saul. I'm 19 just recently got into real estate. I'm trying to help my parents out but i'm a bit confused on the numbers for pulling equity out of the home.  

Here are the numbers. 

Purchased home: $240,000 @ 4.375% using FHA Loan

Not quite sure on down payment but around 2.5% $6000

Current Mortage Balance: $213,000 

New Home Value: $380,000

I'm having difficulty calculating how much equity would be available to pull. I understand you can do a cash out refi or HELOC. With refi rates at 3.4% in my area. I know there is money somewhere. Just confused on where to start and who to talk to. Like would i be able to hold the cash and wait for a possible dip in the market to purchase an investment property with an FHA Loan? Thank You
