Refi + Cash out struggle due to COVID

Refi + Cash out struggle due to COVID

As the title says, I'm struggling to refinance while pulling money out from my equity. The two main issues I am having are that 1) banks are not doing cash out on loans that they do not own and 2) the amount of money that I need to borrow.

Here's some back ground:

Currently, I have 2 mortgages. One is my primary residence and the other an investment property.

Investment property: Bought for 180k (current value of 300k) @ 5% with an FHA loan with an outstanding balance of 10k. It's labeled as a manufacture home build in 2003. Reasons lender's underwriter won't accept are: 1) is an investing property, 2) it's a manufacture home and 3) require debt balance that I must have (150k). Because my current balance is so low, I would need to pull out 140k.

Primary residence home: Outstanding balance is 7k. Home appraised at 370k. Primary issue is that the bank holding my loan is not offering cash out with Refi because of COVID.

I though of paying them off and doing HELOC, but the interest is higher than I would like (4.5%). So I'm avoiding that route.

Given my options, what is the best way to pull money out from my equity to invest in a third property. 

PS - I live in SLC, Utah. The typical home value for entry homes here is around 350k

    @David Hernandez we don't have any cash out restrictions or overlays, but unfortunately I'm not licensed un Utah or I'd be able to help you.  Point is, there are many Conventional lenders that can do exactly what you need.  Stay away from the banks and brokers, you will likely need a direct Fannie/Freddie lender or correspondent lender.  Hopefully someone here can point you in the right direction.

    Best of luck!

    @David Hernandez you can still do a cash out refi with a different institution. For your primary home you could draw on the equity and the refi will pay off the 7k. I work for a financial institution that could help that is based in Northern Utah.
