- FHA and VA cash out refi’s—must have 12 months of seasoning (240 days since first payment made) to be eligible to pull cash out of the home or do a streamline refinance.
- High balance loans – always check county websites to make sure that the county a property is listed in qualifies for a high balance loan-otherwise they need to qualify for a jumbo loan/non-conforming loan.
