What state is property in? There are some portfolio lenders with no seasoning requirements. I could only help you in NJ or CT or parts of NY.

Hi gs400paul!

Welcome to forums!

As far as I know, most of the lenders will require a minimum seasoning period of six months before you can pull cash out above the original purchase price. I think, you will need to wait for six months before a conventional lender will look at a new valuation.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

"pull cash out above the original purchase price."
But in our case we would like cash out at or even below the purchase price
we payed all cash for the property and now would like to finance, this would not be as hard as it is now since this credit crunch. This rule was not even meant for us but still effecting us in a great way.

hi guest

as far as i know, you will not be able to get a refinance before 6 months. i think you should wait for 6 months and then look for refinancing the property.

thanks.

I know it makes no sense. I just wanted my money back too. I am going through the same as you now. Took me 3 months just to figure out all these rules b/c even the front line reps and some managers at the banks dont know about seasoning. Go through a bank that is a portfolio lender (ie doesnt sell off their loans but keeps them). USAA and Bank of the West in California are two that I have found.

As aninja750 stated, local portfolio lenders do have programs with no seasoning. The cash-out restrictions may limit you as to what you may be looking for. The only other option would be Hard Money, which is high interest rates and def. not your first choice. I hope this helps...

You can get past the 6 month Fannie Mae Requirement for seasoning if you ask your lender to do the loan as a non conforming loan. Rates are a bit higher, but then it is not a Fannie Mae loan. and they can refinance it without the seasoning time.
