CASH OUT REFI WITH A PORTFOLIO LENDER

[Anna Catron]

Sometimes I feel a bit slow.  I've been reading and listening intently x 2 years.  We tried to refi last year but the appraisal came in waaaay lower than expected.  We would have paid about 4k for a 14k cash out refi.  Will a portfolio lender allow a larger percentage of the equity to be pulled out in a cash out refi?  Not sure why this didn't occur to me sooner.  

Thanks so much for your thoughts!!
