Cash out Refinance on free n clear property
Hello,
I have purchased a townhome with cash, free n clear. It’s a new construction from builder. I need to finance it now (to pay back the money I used for it). Is this also a cash out refinancing? Do I have to wait for the seasoning period of 6 months before I can refinance? I also heard in the BP forums about Fannie- Freddy increasing the seasoning requirements to 12 months. Bit worried about that.
Some of the rates offered for the conventional refinancing are high ( over 6.5%) where as I am able to get at ~5% from a local credit union for an investment property purchase but they won't offer the same for this cash out refinancing. Any good leads for the lenders are appreciated. I'm in DMV(DC-MD-VA) area if it matters.
