Let's say you borrow $100,000 to pay off your $50,000 IRA loan, $25,000 on credit cards, and keep $25,000 for finishing renovations.

VA loans are the only loans that allow this, and there is no rate penalty for it no longer being your primary home.With that in mind, you could do a cash out refinance today at a higher rate than current market rates which will create profit on the loan, we can take that profit to pay for your closing costs.
