But if they are seeking to hold a property for any length of time and want their cash investment back there are some important rules to understand with conventional loan:If you buy a property with cash (or with a HELOC) you can receive a cash out loan on Day 1.There is not a 6 month waiting period with receiving a cash out loan if you purchased a home with cash or with a HELOCBUT you will be limited to the amount of....Your purchase price + closing costs (costs when you purchased the home)OR75% of the “After Repair Value”...WHICHEVER IS THE LOWER AMOUNT (super important)These rules are important to understand so here are two examples:Example 1: If you purchased a home with $50k of cash, and put $30k of renovations into the loan, and the home was worth $100k. 75% is $75k and $50k is your purchaseprice.
