Possible Next Housing Problem? Cash-Out Refis

If lots of inflation-hit owners refinance to take cash out, their temporary financial fix may lead to a foreclosure if the funds run out or their home value falls.
Currently, non-bank lenders are making cash-out refinance mortgage loans guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Veterans Administration (VA) to cash-strapped homeowners – particularly low-wealth and veteran borrowers and those in communities of color. It gives low-income families a quick influx of cash but also leaves them with a mortgage that’s more expensive than the one they had before the refi.

U.S. Owners Lost Equity – But Not Many in Fla.
Americans lost an average 4.9% of their home equity since June ($2.3T). But many Fla. metros bucked the loss trend, with Miami up 19.7% year over year ($77B).

1. Miami: Up 19.7%
2. North Port-Sarasota, Fla.: Up 17.8%
3. Knoxville, Tenn.: Up 17.7%
4. Charleston, S.C.: Up 17.4%
5. Lakeland, Fla.: Up 16.9%

Of the top 10 equity-higher metro areas, Florida held six of the top 10 spots for largest annual home-value gains in percentage terms, even though Hurricane Ian caused billions of dollars in damage and displaced thousands of Floridians in fall 2022.

Marry The House Date The Rate!!!

Pay yourself, not your proprietor.

Buying a new house is scary, especially in today's market but wasting most of your hard earned money on rent is even scarier. Economic conditions are very poor at this time so having security is a bit of a release. Paying 100% of your housing to your landlord is not so secure. So why not pay yourself?

When you buy you're essentially paying yourself. Even though interest rates are high you're only paying 25% of your housing cost for your interest and 75% for yourself (depending on terms). You can even borrow against the equity that you have accumulated which gives you security. You are not locked to your interest you can always refinance for a lower rate. Sometimes you can even go under a sub-to contract and acquire the existing loan to pay that mortgage down.
