6 Basic Refinance Requirements

Refinance today to secure a low rate
The first thing to know is that refinance requirements vary by lender and loan program.

For instance, the requirements for a conventional cash-out refinance are tougher than those for an FHA Streamline Refinance.

And, one lender might be lenient on things like credit scores and loan-to-value ratios (LTVs), while another might be more strict.

If you don't meet all the criteria listed here, it's still worth checking with a lender to see what your options are.

Down payment
First things first: The idea that you have to put 20% down on a house is a myth. The average first-time homebuyer puts just 6% down, and certain loan programs allow as little as 3% or even zero down.  You shouldn't think it's conservative to make a large down payment on a home, or risky to make a small down payment. The right amount depends on your current savings and your home buying goals. 
 
Cash Out Refinance
Many people don't think of their home as an investment vehicle. Unless it's a property you plan to rent out or fix-and-flip, you might think a house is just a place to live. But the truth is, your home is an investment in many ways. You'll be putting a lot of money into the property — and its value can rise or fall with the economy. Plus, unlike renting, a house helps you build wealth.
