Refinancing based on appraised value before closing all cash deal
I am looking to buy a short sale property. The bank that owns the house, claims the house appraised at 90K. They listed it 75K. My realtor tells me they already have a 75K all cash offer.
I am willing to put 75.2K to beat it only if I can refinance for 90K and essentially get it for free since I would be getting around 78K back based on 20% downpayment and 90K appraised value.
Can I agree to offer 75.2K cash and get it appraised before closing and cash out re-finance the deal?
Maybe I tell the lender that I will close with all cash at the closing. The next day, I turn around and refinance it for 90K.
Thoughts?
