How Much Equity Can I Access in a Re-fi?

How Much Equity Can I Convert Into Cash?

If you’re considering a cash-out refinance, it’s important to know how much of your home equity you can access. Most lenders will not allow you to cash out 100% of your equity, typically leaving you with at least 20% or giving you access to a maximum of 80% of the equity in your home. Ask your lender about the limits they impose and whether your equity is enough to meet your goals.
