This client initially came to me looking for a simple rate-and-term refinance on their 6.99% conventional loan. We explored several options and nearly moved forward with an FHA loan, but after reviewing their credit, I noticed they were carrying a considerable amount of debt.
Instead of only saving them around $250 per month, I recommended a niche conventional cash-out refinance that allows borrowers to access equity up to 89.99% LTV—with no mortgage insurance. Very few lenders offer this product, and it’s generally only available through select mortgage brokers.
The result? We closed a $618,500 cash-out refinance and turned $150 per month in potential savings into approximately $1,400 per month in total savings.
We closed on their primary residence in Knoxville in less than 30 days. The borrowers knew what they wanted, the structure made sense, and the loan moved quickly from application to closing.
This is exactly why who you work with truly matters. The right loan structure can completely change the outcome.
