Our take: Pros & Cons
What we like
- Better publishes conventional fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, jumbo, FHA purchase and VA options.
- The mortgage process is online, with account access to track progress and lock a rate.
- Published One Day Mortgage promotion terms include permanent residents and certain non-permanent residents, subject to the offer’s visa, documentation and underwriting conditions.
What to consider
- Minimum scores and down payments vary by program. The rate page’s 760 score, 20% down payment and DTI below 35% are pricing assumptions, not universal eligibility requirements.
- General mortgage-specific ITIN, foreign-credit, no-credit-history and foreign-income acceptance are unconfirmed. Limited residency terms from promotions do not apply to every program.
- The FHA eligibility FAQ limits loans to 30-year purchases of primary residences, while the refinance page displays an FHA example; confirm current availability before relying on FHA refinance pricing.

Additional lender considerations
- Qualified VA borrowers may obtain no-down-payment financing without private mortgage insurance.
- Adjustable-rate interest rates and payments may change after the initial fixed period.
- The token-backed program involves a separate down-payment loan, a second property lien and restricted custody of pledged assets. Default can lead to liquidation and loss of pledged assets.
- Advertised rates and costs are conditional, may change, and do not guarantee approval. Request a written Loan Estimate.

- Buy Refinance Home Equity Rates Better+ Sign in Get started ← Frequently asked questions Do you offer Texas Cash Out Home Equity Loans? Yes, we do offer cash-out mortgages on primary residences in Texas. A Texas Cash Out Home Equity Loan is a refinance where you take equity out of your home in the form of cash on your primary residence, or homestead. In other words, you refinance and get cash back, reducing the amount of equity you have in your home. What is a Texas Cash-Out Home Equity Loan? A Texas cash-out refinance loan, also known as a Section 50(a)(6) loan, enables homeowners to refinance their current mortgage while extracting equity from their property in the form of cash. This cash can be utilized for anything from home improvements and educational expenses to debt consolidation. Recent Changes and Rules (Post-2017 Amendments) In November 2017, amendments to the Texas Constitution made these loans more consumer-friendly: Refinance Flexibility: Homeowners can now refinance their Section 50(a)(6) loan into a non-cash-out refinance loan without the cash-out status and additional fees. Reduced Fees: The maximum fees have been decreased from 3% to 2% of the original loan amount, excluding certain costs like appraisals and title insurance. Expanded Eligibility: Agricultural homesteads can now qualify for these loans, broadening accessibility. Increased Protections: Homeowners may not close a cash-out refinance loan before the first anniversary of the closing date of any other equity loan secured by the same homestead property. How to Qualify for a Texas Cash-Out Refinance Loan To qualify, you must meet certain criteria: Credit Score: A minimum FICO score of 620 is typically required. Loan-to-Value Ratio: The maximum LTV allowed is usually 80%. Residency: The property must be your primary residence.
