LLPAs

Do cash-out refinances have an LLPA?

Short answer

Yes. Cash-out refinances carry their own LLPA on top of credit and LTV adjustments. The adjustment scales with LTV — 80% LTV cash-out hits a larger LLPA than 60% LTV cash-out. Cash-out refinance pricing is materially worse than rate-and-term refinance.

Plain-English explanation

Cash-out LLPAs were tightened in recent Fannie/Freddie matrix updates. The cash-out adjustment can add 1-2.5%+ in equivalent points at higher LTVs. Combined with credit and LTV LLPAs, the total adjustment on a 720 credit, 75% LTV cash-out can be substantial. Compare against a HELOC or home-equity loan, which are often cheaper for accessing equity at lower amounts. Subject to Fannie/Freddie matrices.

What can change the answer?

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac LLPA matrices update periodically. Credit, LTV, occupancy, property type, and loan purpose all stack.
