Refinance and Cash-Out

Refinance or pull equity from your Florida property

If you bought in cash or you're paying an expensive loan, there is capital locked up that you can recover without selling the property.

The Latin American buyer's sleeping capital

A great many buyers from Latin America paid for their Florida property in cash, because at the time it seemed simpler than fighting a bank from abroad. The result is an excellent asset with one hundred percent of the capital locked up and no leverage at work.

A cash-out refinance takes that debt-free property and returns part of the capital to you in cash, leaving a long-term mortgage that in many cases the rent itself covers. That money is what funds the second property. There is also delayed financing, built to recover capital shortly after a cash purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Can I refinance as a non-resident foreign national?

Yes. The same foreign national criteria apply as on a purchase: home country documentation and underwriting centered on the property. The maximum amount you can pull out tends to be somewhat more conservative.

How much cash can I take out?

Typically up to 70% of current property value, less any existing debt. On a debt-free five hundred thousand dollar property, the cash-out can approach three hundred fifty thousand.

What is delayed financing?

It is the option that lets you refinance shortly after buying in cash, without waiting the usual seasoning period. Useful when you pay cash to win the negotiation and want your capital back right away.

Do I pay taxes on the money I pull out?

Refinance proceeds are debt, not income, so they are not taxed as earnings. Still, every tax situation differs and it is worth confirming with your accountant.

Does it work to exit a construction loan?

Yes, it is one of the most common uses. Once the work is done the property appraises at its completed value and is refinanced into a 30-year mortgage, paying off the short-term credit.
