Hello Norm.

You can find information on Texas a6 law the The Texas Constitution site. Go to Section 50 and check out (a)(6) and specially point (B) and (C) at http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/txconst/sections/cn001600-005000.html

I used to work for a Lender that would not do Cash out refi's in suburban areas of texas just urban and rural.

Is this a Lender requirement or Texas requirement?

HI Eric,

I don't think it is a state's requirement. It may be the lenders requirement.

I refinanced my loan into an arm 3 yrs ago and now want to get a fixed loan. My credit score has fallen so that I cannot get a conv loan; but because I took cash out of the equity when I refinanced, I am being told I cannot get a govt. loan right now. Is that correct? I did not know anything about this Tx A6 loan.

Hi Mikek,

Welcome to forums.

You need to check out the state laws. You cannot have more than 1 Texas A6 loan at a time and it cannot be done if the total financing you need is more than 80% of the home value. So probably you're getting denied because of a higher LTV. By the way, did you ask the lenders why you were being denied? it's very important because it may help you eliminate the cause of the loan denial.

Thanks

When calculating the 3% fee restriction for Tx(A)(6) loans. Should I subtract the aggregate adj from the total impounds?

I think you should talk to a lender offering Texas A6 loan regarding any calculation on the 3% fee restriction.

I understand the rule about the subject property being a primary home or "homestead". But what we have run into is a situation where the borrower has disclosed that the subject property is now an investment home but is still labeled as his "homestead" since it is the only home he owns. The title company will not close close this loan unless we call this an (a)(6) refi since the county still shows this as homestead, but it is NOT his primary. Has anyone encountered this?

Hi WHYME,

Did you ask the lender why he is not letting you refinance the mortgage? As far as I can understand, you should be able to refinance the mortgage.

I think you should consult some other lenders and check out what they have to say in this regard. It is not mandatory to refinance the loan from the original lender. You can also consult the lenders of this community and get a no-obligation free mortgage quote from them. Then you can compare the rates and select the best option.

Thanks,

Jerry

I want to make sure I am gathering and processing this information correctly. The law prevents more than one cash out (whether it be a refinance with a cash out or a home equity loan or line of credit) on a Texas primary property within 12 months and 1 day. If this is not correct please correct me.

Hi Barbara!

Welcome to forums!

As far as I know, Texas refinance law states that if you have a home equity loan, it can only be refinanced with another home equity loan though you are not taking any more cash out of your home. Moreover a home equity loan cannot be refinanced within 12 months from the date of closing.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.
