How long after after a purchase/rehab do I need to wait to tap e?

[Jason T.]

So I bought my new primary residence 2 months ago. I added several hundred square feet and would now like to tap the home equity. Is this something I can do right away, or do I need to wait until 6 months or 12 months? I've called a few conventional lenders and have been told that they can't use a new appraised value until more time has lapsed.

Is this the case for all normal lenders?  I assume I can do a hard money loan without issue, but I'd like to avoid that if possible given how expensive they are. 

I'm open to any loan product (HELOC, home equity loan, cash-out refi, etc).

Any advice would be appreciated!
