Apply for an FHA Loan
To get an FHA cash out refinance, you need to apply for a new loan. We’ll likely get a new home appraisal to estimate your home’s current value. We’ll ask you to read and sign documents that explain your new FHA loan and give us permission to review your application .

Close Your FHA Loan
The process of reviewing your application is called underwriting. Our underwriters will look at your credit, income, and finances to decide if you meet our requirements. If you’re approved, we’ll schedule a closing where you can sign your loan documents and get your cash!

Get Your Cash
It generally takes five days from closing to get your cash with an FHA cash out refinance. We can deposit your cash directly into your bank account or send you a check. You’ll get all your cash at one time as a lump-sum payment.
