What is Delayed Financing?
Delayed financing is a strategy that lets you buy a property with cash and then take out a mortgage on the home immediately after closing to repay the money used without having to wait six months like with regular loans.
How Does Delayed Financing Work?
You use cash to close on a property, then refinance it as soon as possible so you can get your money back for other purposes.
Disadvantages of Delayed Financing
- Closing costs are higher than those associated with a standard mortgage.
- Interest rates may be higher than those on original purchase loans.
What is the 90-Day Rule for Delayed Financing?
Typically, the 90-day rule forbids cash-out refinancing within three months of buying real estate. However, delayed financing is an exception to this regulation.
Difference Between Delayed Financing and Cash-Out Refinancing:
Delayed Financing: Immediate refinancing following a cash purchase.
- Cash-out refinancing involves replacing an existing mortgage loan with one with a larger outstanding principal balance.
- Cash-out refinance frees up some funds from equity buildup over time (through appreciation).
Benefits of Delayed Financing
- Recoups capital to use for other investments.
- It avoids constraints on cash-out refinance imposed by some lenders or market conditions at any time.
Applicable Mortgage Programs
Jumbo loans may have delayed funding options available under certain circumstances where more than conventional ones are needed. Because their size exceeds the conforming limits set forth by Fannie Mae/ Freddie Mac (which usually range between $766,250 and $1,149,250, depending on location), the most commonly found eligible uses involve traditional conforming mortgages.
Special Rules in Texas: Due to its stringent legislation concerning home equity arrangements such as those pertaining†to delayed financing under Article XVI, Section 50(a), (6) of Texas law, which regulates cashout limits refinances, among other things. Therefore, if applicable, this could represent an important opportunity for residents in this state. Given current restrictions imposed by financial institutions operating within these boundaries, it may benefit residents where they might otherwise be restricted from realizing their full potential through such means; however, it is also subject to various other federal statutes designed primarily around consumer protection rights, so it would still be advisable to consult with professionals knowledgeable about local laws before proceeding beyond certain thresholds.
