It occurs to me that if a newbie (like me!) finds a suitable property and uses hard money to close fast, that might be a good way to do no money down deals. But you would want to re-fi as soon as possible with a more conventional lender if you were keeping the property. Would the lender at that point want cash in the deal, or would they simply re-finance based on the equity in the deal, not the cash?
Most lenders want 6 -12 months ownership (seasoning) before they will allow you to us the appraised value. You typically can do a rate and term refinace based on the purcahse price plus the cost (documented) of any improvements made.
HOWEVER I have a program where you can refinance with no time of ownership at 75-80% of current appraised value.
