BRRRR investors must wait through a seasoning period before pulling cash out at full ARV. 2027 rules: Fannie/Freddie require 6 months from purchase date for cash-out refinance using new appraised value. Delayed Financing Exception allows immediate refi but caps loan at purchase price + closing. DSCR loans bypass seasoning at higher rates.

How BRRRR Seasoning Rules Work in 2027
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require 6-month seasoning from purchase date for cash-out refinance using new appraised value. Before 6 months, the loan is capped at purchase price + closing (Delayed Financing Exception, B2-1.3-03). The seasoning clock starts on the deed-recording date, not the offer-acceptance date. Some lenders require 6-month title seasoning AND 6-month tax-return income seasoning.
Delayed Financing Exception
If you paid all cash for the property, Fannie Mae's Delayed Financing Exception lets you cash-out refinance immediately, but the loan is capped at original purchase price + documented closing costs. Useful when you bought at 50-60% of market value. After 6 months, you can refinance again at full ARV to pull the rest of your equity.
DSCR No-Seasoning Path
Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) portfolio lenders (Kiavi, Lima One, RCN Capital, Visio) do not require seasoning. You can close on a DSCR refi 30 days after purchase using a current appraisal at full market value. Tradeoff: rates run 1.0-1.5% above conventional (8.5-10% in 2027), and most cap at 75-80% LTV. Best for high-volume BRRRR investors who recycle capital monthly.
