the choices hey what's up everybody that's the same kwok here one of the
[13]
kwak brothers and welcome back to our channel and today we're going to talk
[16]
about the difference between a home equity line of credit and getting a cash
[19]
out refinance in the context of investing in real estate so we're gonna
[23]
talk about the differences where the pros and cons which one should you get
[27]
what are some of the things you should be watching out for for either the
[30]
options and of course before we get started be sure to subscribe to our
[33]
channel if you want to learn more about real estate investing buying rental
[36]
properties and creating more positive cash flow so let's go and drop the
[40]
difference between a cash out refinance versus a home equity line of credit both
[44]
cash out refinance and a home equity line of credit both involve in taking
[48]
the equity out from a real estate and turning them into a reusable cash so
[53]
let's go and first talk about the cash out refinance and typically when it's
[57]
used in the context of real estate investing now when it comes to a cash
[60]
out refinance let's for example say that you own hundred percent of the equity on
[64]
this property meaning you have no debt your mortgage has been paid off or you
[68]
may have bought the property using cash so what you do with the cash out
[72]
refinance is that typically you'll get a mortgage on an existing property that
[76]
you own most banks and credit unions will lend you on an eighty percent loan
[80]
to value of the property so if the property is worth a hundred thousand
[83]
dollars the lender is willing to give you up to 80 thousand dollars in terms
[86]
of cash out refinance and most cash out refinance depending on the terms you go
[90]
if it can be either fifteen year amortization or 30-year amortization on
[93]
a fixed-rate interest now when getting a cash out refinance the bank will
[98]
typically require an appraisal done on the property to see how much the
[101]
property is actually worth based on coms features of the property square footage
[105]
bedroom and bathroom counts as well as other miscellaneous features that may
[109]
affect the value of the property from there the bank will determine the
[112]
interest rate based on your FICO score as well as assess the closing cost so
[115]
the typical closing cost of your pay will be title fee's as well as if the
[118]
underwriting fee and some of the other administrative fees that you may pay
[121]
while going through the cash out refinance once all the loan docs are
[125]
closed you typically get a check from the bank and that will be deposited
[128]
against your checking account and you can pretty much use the money to do
[131]
whatever you want generally obviously in the
[133]
context of real estate investing you expect me to use that money to then go and buy other
[137]
real estate properties to go and fix them flip or to buy your next rental
[141]
properties but then again you can go and use that money to go and smash the like
[144]
button for a YouTube algorithm and of course we get the credit side now you
[147]
have a new installment loan that's reporting on your credit report on a 30
[151]
or 15 year a amortization and of course that's going to have an impact on your
[154]
credit a new inquiry has been created the overall age of your credit went down
[158]
and you have a new account that's been set up and it's being reported to your
[161]
credit report now with the cash out refinance it typically preached and
[165]
promoted by users of the bird strategy which stands for vine rehab
[169]
rent refinance and repeat so each time you do a cash out refinance you have to
[174]
go to the application process you have to get your credit check as well as
[177]
appraisal on your property which in just few minutes I'll talk about the pros and
[181]
cons of the cash out refinance okay so let's come across on the HELOC side and
[186]
why it's a little different than the cash out refinance now with the home
[189]
equity line of credit keep in mind it's a revolving line and credit meaning that
[193]
you can pay back reuse pay back reuse so think of it like a credit card that's
[197]
attached to the home equity and also with the HELOC there are two typical
[201]
versions with the home equity line of credit there's the second lien position
[204]
side as well as the first lien position side the more common version of the home
[207]
equity line of credit is a second lien position he'll off in which typically
[211]
you have an existing mortgage and you get a HELOC on top of that of whichever
[214]
equity or however much equity you have remaining on the property and then
[218]
there's the first a HELOC which will replace your mortgage and be the only
[222]
debt on your property so instead of having a mortgage think of it having a
[226]
mega HELOC on your property and it's the only debt that you'll have on the
[230]
property now with the process of getting a HELOC it varies depending on which
[234]
version of the HELOC you get the first name version versus second lien version
[238]
now the typical process and again this depends on what you get and what banks
[242]
you go to it's very similar to the cash out refinance but I'll point out some of
[246]
the things that may be different as you go and apply for a home equity line of
[248]
credit first the bank may require a an appraisal in which I've seen a lot of
[253]
times he locks gets closed without doing an actual impersonal appraisal sometimes
[258]
the banks are opting in to what's called a desk appraisal which a banker or
[262]
underwriter would then appraise the property using a software some sorts
[267]
system to determine the value of the property and some banks depending on
[270]
what lien you get a first name versus secondly may charge your closing cost
[274]
and sometimes there may be an application fee and a lot of times these
[277]
application fees are anywhere between twenty five two hundred dollars for the
[281]
applications but in most cases for a second lien HELOC they won't charge you
[285]
a closing cost but I do see quota banks that charge a
[287]
closing costs for a first lien HELOC just like a cash out refinance from
[292]
there just like a cash out refinance if you're taking a home equity line of
[295]
credit to replace your existing mortgage what would typically happen is that the
[299]
bank will pay off the existing mortgage and you'll get a release of the mortgage
[302]
but you have a new mortgage which is now your first lien HELOC the bank that has
[307]
your heel out will typically have you set up a checking account which then you
[309]
can draw the money out from the HELOC to the checking account you can write
[313]
checks now you can swipe your debit card or you can use a credit card then and
[316]
then pay off the credit card using your checking account that has a connection
[320]
with the first lien HELOC and of course assuming that you have a paid off
[324]
property and you get a first thing HELOC you pretty much have a checkbook to
[328]
access your entire equity whenever you want just like a credit card so again if
[332]
your home values at $100,000 and the bank gives you an 80% limit value first
[337]
in HELOC it just means that you have $80,000 limits that you can go and use
[341]
whenever you need to but you don't have to use the entire eighty thousand
[344]
dollars typically I see people use twenty thousand dollars of it for a
[347]
rehab cost or they may use fifty thousand dollars with to acquire new
[351]
property so you can use it whenever you want it's on demand and you only pay
[355]
interest on what you actually use instead of the entire limit unlike the
[359]
cash out refinance so now that we drew the difference between a cash out
[363]
refinance versus a home equity line of credit let's go and talk about the pros
[366]
and cons and I think the obvious difference from the get-go is the
[369]
liquidity between the cash out refinance versus a first lien HELOC whereas a cash
[374]
out refinance once you use that money and pay it off it's gone you have to go
[378]
back and do another refinance and go through another application process
[381]
another appraisal another closing cost so it's a whole entire process all over
[385]
if you're looking to get that money back into usage again however with the first
[390]
thing he'll off once you have a line of credit you have a funding that you can
[393]
pay back reuse pay back and reuse over and over again as long as you're within
[398]
the draw period which is typically between 10 to 15 years so you have 10 to
[402]
15 years where you can pay it off reuse pay it off and reuse and of course this
[407]
is extremely helpful if you have a fix and flip business whereas you need the
[410]
money to acquire property and also money to rehab the property put it on the
[414]
market sell it pay off the heel off and then have that funds to use again the
[418]
next flip projects to move on whereas with the cash out refinance
[421]
every time you have a new project you have to go through the whole process of
[425]
applying and getting a new cash out refinance going to the phrase Oh paint a
[429]
closing cost all over again each time you move on to the next project so with
[433]
the heat lock it does give you more flexibility it's more efficient and
[437]
effective when it comes to the usability as well as the liquidity and I know what
[440]
you guys are thinking it's really hard to get a home equity line of credit on
[443]
investment properties or non owner occupied properties well that's true but
[447]
it depends on the banks and what the underwriting criteria is like for that
[451]
specific bank remember a home equity line of credit
[454]
unlike most cash out refinance programs it's non qualifying mortgage meet which
[459]
means that the banks have different guidelines and different underwriting
[462]
criterias and each bank may have different guidelines and different
[465]
programs that they follow with a home equity line of credit so you may see one
[468]
group of banks that don't lend a HELOC on an investment property but you may
[472]
see another group of banks that absolutely do lend on helix for
[476]
investment properties so it just depends on which banks you go to that does he
[479]
locks on investment properties so one can say that that is a typical drawback
[483]
when it comes to getting a first theme he lock or a secondly he lock on an
[486]
investment property whereas with a cash out refinance the general guideline is
[490]
pretty fluid and it's kind of expected that you should go in cash out refinance
[494]
and that's been the norm but because a lot of things don't do a HELOC on
[498]
investment property there's a little bit of a perception amongst the investor
[501]
community that getting a key lock on investment property or non owner
[504]
occupied property is rather difficult but my answer to that is again it
[508]
depends on the bank it depends on the guidelines that the bank is using it
[511]
also depends on what state you live in because certain states have different
[514]
laws and regulation as to how a lock can be treated you can also use the first
[518]
scene heal off to pay off your mortgage even faster and I have a separate video
[521]
that I made I'm going to put that in the video description down below now in the
[524]
context of real estate investing and as a landlord myself I would choose the
[528]
first scene heal off over the cash out refinance mainly because I have the
[532]
flexibility to reuse the over and over again as long as I'm
[536]
within the draw period think of it like the cash out refinance to be a
[540]
disposable battery whereas the first thing he lock is like a rechargeable
[544]
battery where if you are done using it you can recharge it right and use it
[548]
again recharge it resumed again you get the point where as the cash out
[552]
refinance you take it out once and once you pay it off it's gone unless you go
[557]
and get another cash out refinance and you have to pay it off again and then
[561]
repeat that cycle now just as a little bit of a shameless plug my brother and I
[564]
were able to buy 75 rental units without using our own money or without even
[569]
getting a cash out refinance or a HELOC we were able to do so through raising
[573]
money as well as negotiate for owner financing so we actually just wrote a
[577]
book called 0 to 75 units in just one year where we're gonna show you how we
[581]
would've by 75 rental units in just one year without using our own money or
