Cash out

Cash out

A cash out refers to increasing your existing borrowings with the loan proceeds controlled by the applicant. Cash out is when you release the equity from your home using a home equity loan. You can borrow up to 80% of the value of your property if you can provide a stated purpose (no evidence required). You can release up to 90% of the property value with evidence of the use of the funds.

  • - Cash-out refinancing allows you to turn equity into cash through refinancing your mortgage
  • - While you can’t cash out all of your equity, it does give you access to more cash fast
  • - The terms of your refinanced mortgage might be significantly different than your original loan, including a different rate or loan period.

A cash-out refinance can be a low-cost option to get cash, but it also means you'll have to repay a new, larger debt.

If you utilise the cash out for anything other than a capital improvement, you won't be able to deduct the interest on the entire new mortgage. This can include things like paying off credit card debt or purchasing a new vehicle.

There are new terms. The terms of your new mortgage will differ from those of your previous loan. Before you agree to the new conditions, double-check your interest rate and costs. Also, consider the total interest you'll pay during the loan's term.

The proceeds from a cash-out refinance allows you to pay these debts off and pay the loan back with one, lower-cost monthly payment instead. If your home loan is currently on a fixed interest rate, you can expect break fees to come with your cash out refinance.
