If you did this and either held it for a year (I️ believe that is the standard, but I️ would confirm with the banking institutions you want to go with), you could then refinance, pay off your land contract and pull cash out if appraisal came back higher.Your original thought process is correct in that a bank wants the 20% (I’ve seen closer to 25-30% on commercial loans until you build relationship) to protect themselves from fluctuations in value, but they also want skin in the game.Good luck,Roger

Do you need to pay the interest in arrears as well as the original loan amount or just the original loan amount?
