@Omar Gutierrez  That's going to be difficult to find, especially on a loan amount so small.  You would probably have better luck getting a construction loan to build something on the land, and creating some equity that way.

i have plans at the city that are 2-3 weeks from approval. i'm a licensed GC and the house is going to be a 3/2 1100 sqft with comps in the 260's. for a construction id only need 100-110k, but the more i call banks the more im finding out that even 100-110k is "too small" of a loan. It just starting to feel like its impossible to get less than 100k in lending no matter how secure the deal is

I know this is an old post, but I am in a similar situation as @Omar Guitierrez, and need financing as well.  @Guifre Mora, are you still in this space? Or anyone else?

For a cash-out refinance on a vacant lot, finding traditional lenders can be a bit tricky as most focus on developed properties. However, you may have better luck with local credit unions or private lenders who specialize in land loans. Additionally, consider exploring hard money lenders, as they often offer flexible options for tapping into land equity, although they come with higher interest rates and shorter terms.

Another option is reaching out to land-specific lenders or specialty loan providers who may offer land equity loans. Be sure to compare the terms and fees before making a decision!
