Question: Is it to risky right now to do a cash-out refinance for approximately $40k-$50k and bring the LTV to 75% in this current market? 

Jacob,Do you have enough equity in your primary home to do a cash out refinance?

You can borrow from friends, family, private money or hard money, then refinance. 

Most markets have a few agents that have refined their processes for working with serious investors. 

Is it possible for him to just refinance the property?

@Andy Collins Sounds to me like the best strategy would be to sell your condo and do a cash-out refinance on your personal SFR you live in.Sell your condo because you have a ton of equity in it and the Return on Equity is super low right now ($1200 per year in cashflow / $220k in equity = .5%), and a refinance would just create negative cash flow.

It is worth close to $400K and I want to get a cash-out refi of about $160K, but lenders are requiring that I hold the deed for at least 6 months before they will refinance it. 

Hi, I have a primary residence that I just refinanced to lower the payment and possibly rent it out. Can I rent it out and get an FHA loan on another owner occupied property even though I just refinanced?
thank you 

There are the Fannie Mae Homestyle and FHA 203(k) loans that are essentially a refinance to give you the funds for the renovation and base it on the expected appraised value once the renovations are complete.
