In Texas no cash is allowed back to the borrower when refinancing unless the borrower is taking out a Texas home equity loan. Texas home equity loans are limited to 80% ltv of the property and have more stringent requirements.
Cash advantage loans are useful for debt consolidation. Cash can be taken out to pay off high interest credit cards versus the lower interest rates available on mortgages. Plus the mortgage interests are tax deductible which means more savings.
Many of our programs allow up to a 5% seller's concession on 100% purchases.
When refinancing some borrowers only qualify for a rate and term refinance, with a cash advantage loan the borrower will still be able to receive 2-5% of the loan amount.
