Sometimes the borrower voluntarily refinances a loan because there are favorable conditions and terms they could benefit from and sometimes the borrower refinances because they have to... such as when you have to get out of a hardmoney loan post rahab or if you have some flavor of an ARM or balloon loan that matures or becomes due.A cashout refinance is often contingent on the amount of equity in the property.

Given the fed’s plan to raise interest rates, I would focus on using this HELOC in a short term scenario like a BRRRR or flip where I could pay it back with a sale or refi, because I don’t want to have too much variable debt right now as most HELOCs are ARMs that track at some margin above prime rate.

But, for example, when I gutted a property I found that getting a bulk sheetrock delivery from a supplier was cheaper per board and they had the mechanical arm to bring the rock to the 2nd floor.
