Cash Out Refinance Rates Florida — What Actually Moves Yours
Cash out refinance rates Florida borrowers are quoted come down to three things: the credit score, how much of the value you are borrowing, and which lender sees the file. Nobody has one rate for everyone, which is why the comparison further down is arranged by program rather than by a single headline number. Where your file lands is a pricing question, not a yes-or-no one.

Cash-out refinance rates in Florida depend on your credit score, loan-to-value, and program. Below is how cash-out rates are set and how to get the lowest.
What Are Cash Out Refinance Rates in Florida Right Now?
Cash out refinance rates in Florida for 2026 run slightly above standard rate-and-term rates. At 740 FICO and 70% LTV, expect mid-to-upper 6% on a 30-year Conventional fixed. VA cash out is the lowest all-in option with no monthly MIP. FHA runs slightly higher when MIP is included. The CFPB cash out refinance guide covers the basics in plain language.
Your Florida cash out rate depends on credit score, LTV, loan program, property type, and which lender you use. As a mortgage broker, we aren’t tied to one bank’s rate sheet, so your quote reflects the program your file fits and that day’s pricing. Florida home values have appreciated sharply across South Florida, Orlando, and Tampa, meaning more equity is available to tap than in prior years.

Florida Cash Out Refinance Programs — FHA, VA, Conventional & Non-QM
Here is what each program delivers for Florida homeowners in 2026.
Government-Backed Programs
FHA Cash Out — FL
FHA cash out allows up to 80% LTV with a 500 FICO minimum — the most accessible option for Florida homeowners rebuilding credit. You must have occupied the home for 12 months. Annual MIP adds to the all-in cost, but flexible guidelines make FHA the right call for scores below 620 in Orlando, Tampa, and Miami markets.
VA Cash Out — FL
VA cash out delivers up to 100% LTV with no monthly mortgage insurance — the lowest all-in FL cash out rate for eligible veterans. Florida has one of the largest veteran populations in the country, and VA remains the most powerful equity tool available to them. The VA official cash out page covers Certificate of Eligibility rules. A one-time funding fee can be rolled into the loan.
Conventional Cash Out — FL
Conventional cash out caps at 80% LTV with no mortgage insurance and no funding fee. Best pricing above 740 FICO. Fannie Mae guidelines govern conforming Florida loans up to $832,750 in every county except Monroe, which reaches $990,150.
Non-QM & Specialty Programs
Bank Statement Cash Out — FL
Florida self-employed borrowers qualify using 12 or 24 months of bank deposits with no tax returns required. Popular with business owners in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Jacksonville. Minimum 600 FICO at up to 75% LTV, 80% takes 680+, rates run 0.75–1.5% above Conventional. See our Bank Statement Loans Florida page for details.
DSCR Cash Out — FL
Florida investors qualify on rental income rather than personal income. Up to 80% LTV at 720+ on loans to $1M, less at lower scores, no personal income documents required. Strong demand from South Florida landlords. Qualifies on actual or market rent per appraisal.

What are current cash out refinance rates in Florida?
As of mid-2026, Florida cash out refinance rates for well-qualified Conventional borrowers (740 FICO, 70% LTV) are in the mid-to-upper 6% range on a 30-year fixed. VA cash out rates are slightly lower with no MIP. FHA rates run slightly higher when MIP is included. Non-QM programs carry rates 0.75% to 1.5% above Conventional.
How do I qualify for the best Florida cash out refinance rate?
The three biggest rate levers are credit score, LTV, and lender selection. Borrowers above 740 FICO and below 75% LTV get the best Conventional pricing. A mortgage broker shopping multiple loan programs typically beats a single retail bank. Paying down revolving balances before applying can also improve your pricing tier.
Can I do a cash out refinance in Florida with bad credit?
Yes. FHA cash out allows scores down to 500 FICO at up to 80% LTV — the most accessible option for Florida homeowners with credit challenges. Non-QM cash-out starts at 500 with full documentation (a primary home, 60% LTV) and 600 on alt doc. The rate will be higher than for prime borrowers, but the program exists. Contact us to run your scenario.
Is a cash out refinance a good idea in Florida right now?
If your existing mortgage is above 7%, a cash out refi can lower your payment and deliver cash simultaneously. If below 5%, a home equity line may be a better fit. We run both scenarios so you see the numbers before deciding.
How much cash can I take out on a refinance in Florida?
The maximum depends on loan type and home value. Conventional allows 80% LTV, FHA 80%, VA 100%, and Non-QM caps at 80%. On a Florida home worth $500,000 with a $250,000 balance, a Conventional cash out at 80% LTV delivers up to $150,000 minus closing costs. South Florida luxury properties may require a jumbo cash out program.
How long does a cash out refinance take to close in Florida?
Most Florida cash out refinances close in 21 to 45 days. The appraisal is usually the longest step at 10 to 14 days. Borrowers who provide documents promptly often close in three weeks. Florida also requires a 3-business-day right of rescission on primary residences before cash is disbursed.
Why does the rate move when my loan-to-value changes?
Because the lender’s exposure changes with it. Borrowing a larger share of the value puts more at risk if prices soften, and pricing sheets step up in bands rather than sliding smoothly. That is why dropping from one band into the next can be worth more than a small improvement in score. If you are close to a boundary, ask where the nearest one is before you settle on an amount.
Does a Monroe County file price differently?
Monroe carries its own conforming ceiling, higher than the rest of Florida, so a balance that would be jumbo elsewhere in the state can stay conforming there. Conforming and jumbo are two different pricing sheets with different credit floors and different reserve requirements. Whether your loan amount clears the conforming limit decides more than the rate sheet does — so tell us the county early.
Will shopping around hurt my credit?
Mortgage inquiries inside a short window are treated as one event by the scoring models, which is precisely so people can shop. The bigger practical point is that you apply once. The shopping happens on our side rather than yours, so you are not repeating the same application every time someone new looks at it. Ask what the file looks like before credit is pulled at all.
Is the quoted rate the same as what I will actually pay?
Not by itself. The rate sets the interest; the APR folds in what it costs to get that rate, and two quotes at the same rate can carry very different costs. Ask for both numbers together, and ask what the costs are on each. On a cash-out in particular, closing costs come out of the proceeds, so the figure that reaches you lands under the equity arithmetic you did in your head.
Your score, the value, and what is left on the mortgage. A licensed loan officer will place you against each program’s tier and show you where the money is, without a credit pull to start.
