## Quick answer

Estimate commercial cash-out by taking the lower of $5 million or 75% of underwritten value, then subtracting the payoff and closing costs. Income and underwriting may reduce the loan further.

## How do the loan cap, leverage and payoff interact?

RPC permits unlimited cash-out proceeds within a $5 million loan limit and 75% LTV. That wording does not mean unlimited borrowing. Calculate the new loan ceiling first, check that the property's income supports it, and then subtract existing debt, fees and any required reserves to estimate what remains.

**Where it fits:** Ask for an up-to-date payoff rather than using the principal balance from an old statement. Payoff interest, prepayment charges and closing costs affect the amount returned. The worked examples below assume sufficient income and omit costs so the effect of each ceiling is visible.

**Example:** Illustrative: a $4,000,000 property supports a value-based ceiling of $3,000,000. After a $2,000,000 payoff, $1,000,000 remains before costs and reserves.

**Fit check:** Occupied commercial real estate, minimum FICO 680, minimum DSCR 1.15x, and no more than 75% LTV. Value, income, title and documents must support the request.

## How do two illustrative cash-out calculations compare? (as of 2026-10-08)

| Underwritten value | 75% of value | Loan ceiling | Assumed payoff | Proceeds before costs |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| $4,000,000 | $3,000,000 | $3,000,000 | $2,000,000 | $1,000,000 |
| $10,000,000 | $7,500,000 | $5,000,000 | $3,000,000 | $2,000,000 |

- Illustrative calculations, not closed deals or commitments. Sufficient DSCR is assumed; fees, reserves and other conditions can reduce proceeds.

## FAQs

**Q: Does unlimited cash-out remove the mortgage cap?**

No. The new commercial cash-out loan cannot exceed $5 million or 75% LTV, and must satisfy underwriting.

**Q: What if my property's income supports less debt?**

A minimum DSCR of 1.15x applies. If the accepted income cannot support the proposed payment, the loan and resulting proceeds must be reduced.

**Q: Can I use these calculations for a residential rental?**

No. Residential DSCR cash-out leverage is confirmed per deal. Do not reuse the commercial LTV ceiling for a residential rental refinance.
